Slewe Gallery is pleased to announce the opening of the exhibition Studioprojects by Paul Drissen. He will show about seven large new paintings. The exhibition opens Saturday September 7 and will run through October 12. Paul Drissen makes paintings with casein tempera on canvas. He uses elements from the modernist tradition in an almost nostalgic way. Thereforoccase he used to call his paintings earlier Ghostpaintings. His newest series, entitled Studioprojects, are more collages than classic paintings. Found cotton cloth and cut out images from magazines or catalogs are playfully used as carrier for his paintings. Traces of corrections, some broken lines and forms recall modernist painting as a nostalgic desire. Drissen, born in 1963 in Oirsbeek (NL), lives and works in Maastricht. After his study at the Ateliers 63 in Haarlem he started exhibiting at Art & Project Gallery. He had museum solo shows at the Bonnefantenmuseum in Maastricht, the Gemeentemuseum Den Haag and at the Stadsgalerij Heerlen in 2005, on which occasion a catalog has been published entitled Melodernia. His work has been collected by several important private and public collecions such as the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, Bonnefantenmuseum, Maastricht, Gemeentemuseum Den Haag and Stadsgalerij Heerlen.
