OPENING: ‘Liquor, Perfume, Hair’, Julia Jacquette 01.06.2012

On Saturday May 26th Antoin Scholten, Mayor of Zwijndrecht, opened the fifth exhibition in Bergarde galleries. After the solo exhibitions of Marijke de Goey, Ichiro Saito, Marian Plug and Ad Willemen Bergarde proudly presents the work of American artist Julia Jacquette (New York, 1964). The title Liquor, Perfume, Hair is a reference to themes that play a central role in the work on view. Perfume, shiny hair and liquids (such as liquor) all have an elusive attraction on people, exploited in advertisements to create a feeling of exclusivity. By seeing the painting Cognac (2011) you seem to almost drown into it. During the opening it was possible to view the exhibition, as well as the permanent exhibition which includes the collection of Henk and Anja van den Berg.Did you miss the opening?
