Galerie Fontana would like to invite you to the festive opening of the KunstRai-Art Amsterdam 2018. On Wednesday April 4 from 5: 00-10:00 PM. The fair will be officially opened at 7:00 PM. Motto of this fair is Focus Barcelona. Hence the Spanish Ambassador Z.E. Mr Fernando Arias González will be present at the opening. Usually the fair will be held in Hall 7 of the Amstelhal. Part of the RAI Amsterdam builbing complex. At the Wielingenstraat you will find the entrance.
Visual artist Patrick Koster exhibits a series of square and predominantly red works. All these works are made in the technique that Patrick has studied in recent years. Collage of adhesive film on drawing polyester mounted on light box. The works are entitled The Vernissage. Patrick chose a newspaper photo as a starting point for making the series. Taken at the opening of an art exhibition in Ankara, Turkey. A man disguised as a security guard had attacked the Russian Ambassador who spoke an opening speech.
Inspired by the time and world in which we live, Patrick Koster intervenes artistically by placing “evil” in an alienating context. His work ensures that your mind does not immediately see struggle and violence in the image, but rather uses your imagination to understand it.
In my work I immerse myself in the violence and ideas of attackers. In many cases, there is hardly any contradiction between reasonable thinking and evil. Reason is an instrument that can be used for good and for bad. Thinking can also easily change from good to evil.
“Studying evil and violence has traditionally been an area of the arts. Think of Francisco Goya’s painting “Saturn swallowing his children”, Dante’s La Divina Commedia, Medea from Greek mythology, Van den Vos Reynaerde, Macbeth, The Joker or Hanibal Lecter. It often satisfies our fascination with violence. Or our desire to witness the cross-border, the secret, the forbidden, the horrific.

This work is also about my current favorite subject and belongs to the series: La Fête Galante. Mezzetino plays or tunes his guitar while in the background Marie-Anne de Cupis de Camargo dances. La Camargo was a famous French ballet dancer. She was responsible for interesting innovations in ballet. For example, she was one of the first to wear flat shoes instead of heels. She is also said to be as strong as male dancers.

Coiled up in a pose of centrifugal energy, the figures dance into the New Year 2025.
Included are elements of the rococo style such as delicate figures and ornate costumes in an enchanted world where music intertwines with romance.
Happy New Year to you all!
