The Beijing Project

During the month of May I, Toos van Holstein, am artist in residence in the NY Arts Gallery Beijing in China. In this time I want to create in one of the big spaces of the gallery an exhibition of oil paintings of my hand. But as a part of the exhibition I also want to cooperate with several Chinese artists in creating a symbiosis between the Chinese modern art and the Western modern art. For this I have available 8 banners of 6 meter length on which already parts of paintings of mine have been printed. On these banners I want to work with the other artists in changing them in new art works that will hang down from the high ceiling in the gallery space.

About me

Just to give a slight impression of my ideas about the exhibition in the big space of the gallery I made an artist impression that is shown here. I have to admit that the visitors are more western than Chinese but that's because I didn't have enough Chinese pictures. I suppose that during the month of May this is going to change.
