Event: Global Projects
Dates: 2 Apr 2014 - 28 Apr 2014
Globalization creates unexpected relationships and contrasts in contemporary art. This series focuses on the significance of exhibiting a variety of works in a pluralistic art world. Inspired by salon-style hanging, most commonly attributed to the Salon de Paris held during the 18th and 19th centuries; Broadway Gallery NYC continues this legacy with a contemporary and fresh outlook. Following a trend of previous exhibitions at Broadway Gallery NYC, this show pays tribute to the format of a salon hanging. It is a tradition that awakens contemporary culture to a dynamic collective consciousness.
A few notable themes in this exhibit that cross cultures are romanticism, spirituality, and humanity. Part of an ongoing series, Artists at Home and Abroad reaches out to the diverse community of New York. In addition to the exhibition on display at Broadway Gallery NYC, are several concurrent Internet projects, and a print catalog. Furthermore, this exhibit offers writers and viewers an exciting opportunity to submit essays and comments on the nature and significance of biennials, fairs and public exposure for new and emerging artists.
This exhibit uses the space as another medium altogether; incorporating the maximum floor-to-ceiling gallery space activates the wall with art works in various media by artists, each of whom offer a unique perspective to the show. These artists have transformed the gallery walls into a compendium of generational takes on figuration, portraiture, and abstraction.
Visitors will be surprised to see the stunning results. The speed of interactions via new media allows for global artistic conversations previously unheard before. In an attempt to integrate the numerous artistic languages, this exhibit was installed in a unique format. Two long parallel walls have been carefully installed to create dialogue in the spatial order. Artists at Home and Abroad allows the viewer access to some of the past and current pivotal artistic ideas while introducing newer talent, to generate fresh creative energy through unexpected juxtapositions.
Biography
Reinder Oldenburger is an artist born in Fryslân, The Netherlands, 1984. As a child, color and sound proved to be the two things that moved him the most. In 2003, Reinder moved to Amsterdam to study guitar at the Royal Conservatory of Amsterdam where he graduated with a Bachelor of Music degree in 2007. His strong interest in art and painting, in particular, found expression when he first started painting at age 27. Although Reinder has extensive training in music, as a painter he is self-taught.
Fueled by a drive to explore and expand, Reinder relocated to New York City in 2011, where he continued to develop and establish himself as a painter. A high and consistent output from his Long Island City studio attracted the attention of collectors and art critics resulting in publications and several group shows in New York.
Reinder became the top-selling artist with Vango, a pioneering San Francisco-based online art gallery. Shortly thereafter he acquired his first cover feature for London-based online art platform Artfinder in their annual catalog named The Edit for the year 2016/2017. Later that year he was commissioned by prime real estate developers in Manhattan to produce a conceptual painting to promote the opening of a top-level penthouse in an iconic Madison Avenue skyscraper property.
In 2017, Reinder relocated to Los Angeles, where he set up his current studio. Shortly after relocating to California he was named as one of Artists to know in 2019 by Palm Springs / Laguna Beach art magazine Art Patron.
Today Reinder's paintings can be found in hundreds of collections in over a dozen countries.
Reinder is also an active musician, writing, recording and playing with the group The Neptune Darlings, and the new Los Angeles-based rock band Ocean Hills.
