Unbound Borders 20.09 – 18.10
Hugo Tieleman, Paul Smulders and Toon Berghahn...
– three strong Dutch visual artists meet in the group exhibition Unbound Borders.
Tieleman unites aesthetic beauty and critical social debate
Hugo Tieleman’s paintings are beautiful in both color and composition, while at the same time addressing socially relevant themes such as forest fires, pollution, oil spills, mining areas, and climate change. His works are thus a highly topical commentary on our Anthropocene age, where human activity has become the dominant force shaping the Earth’s systems and development.
Tieleman’s works remind us that art can both seduce and transform, because they are not only visually captivating, but also an important voice in the conversation about our shared future.

Smulders lets magnificent motifs emerge from chaos
Paul Smulders allows paint, ink, and varnish to flow freely in abstract patterns before gradually shaping them into controlled compositions. Natural motifs appear, and the paintings balance between chance and control. The viewer can continuously discover new details and images in Smulders’ works—just like in nature, whose shapes and nuances can never be fully captured at a single glance. This is precisely why his works are so fascinating.

Berghahn creates a magical atmosphere with light and space
Toon Berghahn’s paintings show recognizable motifs such as buildings, stands of trees, and pavilions, which in their emptiness balance between calm and wonder. The buildings may lie in the middle of a landscape under a magical twilight sky, or nature may intrude into a room through a window. The light in the works comes from different sources, highlighting both details and atmosphere, and creating a sense of tranquility, reflection, and beauty. Berghahn’s paintings spark the viewer’s imagination through the magical interplay of light, space, and mood.
