In collaboration with the Museum MORE ©Eva Broekema two works by the Croatian painter Grgur Akrap are exhibited in the international exhibition “Licked by the Waves / New Bathers in Art” in the Museum MORE.
This international exhibition, curated by Maite van Dijk (Artistic Director, Museum MORE) and Tanja Ritterbex (artist and guest curator), introduces a wide range of modern and contemporary artists who have often explored the theme of bathers in their work. It is a theme that continues to fascinate many artists and it raises interesting questions regarding representation of the body, sexuality, the male and female gaze, and nature & vitality. A selection of 70 featured artists such as Marlene Dumas, Claire Tabouret, Simone Kennedy Doig, Carel Willink, Amoako Boafo, Lydia Pettit, Jenna Gribbon, Neo Matloga, Katherine Bradford, Danny Fox, Jean Jullien, Vivian Greven, Niki de Saint Phalle and Aristide Maillol.
Museum MORE is the largest museum for modern realism in the Netherlands (www.museummore.nl). It is focused on modern realist art, with a Dutch collection and an international exhibition program, and have about 200.000 visitors a year.
I am very happy that this wonderful collaboration has come to fruition and that the works of our Grgur Akrap are exhibited in such a spectacular international group exhibition.
