Kaori Kurihara: Imaginature イマジネーチャー Speaking with the Soul
The art objects of Kaori Kurihara (Osaka, 1987) look deceptively real. Fully focused, the artist creates magical new forms of life that perhaps could have existed, but were actually created in a Paris studio. With angelic patience she works on her detailed ceramic sculptures. Their form is created in a flow. "I hear their voice coming from above. I start working, listen to their voice and that's how they come into existence." From October 19 to November 3, the talented artist, awarded in France, will exhibit for the first time in the Netherlands, at the gallery of Kunstconsult in Amstelveen. 'Imaginature' is the fitting title of the sales exhibition.

The plaster model of a pelican with young from 1932, designed by sculptor Hendrik van den Eijnde, is one of the eye-catchers of the exhibition ‘Sculptor Van den Eijnde (1869-1939) rediscovered’. Exactly eighty years ago, a few months after his death, the Frans Hals Museum organized an honorary exhibition for Van den Eijnde. Now this Haarlem artist, known for his sculpture on the Sint Bavo church in Haarlem and the famous Scheepvaarthuis in Amsterdam, is being rediscovered in an exhibition in Haarlem. The ABC Architectuurcentrum will show this original plaster model from the Kunstconsult collection until the 30th of June.

Glass art exhibition Gestolde Dromen is celebrating its tenth edition this spring. In 2009, the owners of Kunstconsult, Wiljan Versteeg and Belinda Visser, came up with this poetic title for a sales weekend of 20th century glass. Vases with underwater scenes by Willem Heesen and objects from the North Sea collection by Andries Copier were the inspiration for this name. The response to the first edition was so big that in the past decade Gestolde Dromen became a major annual sales exhibition, to which glass art lovers from the 20th century look forward because of its size and quality.
