During Museumnacht010, the new exhibition by British painter James Aldridge opens at Christian Ouwens Gallery at 8:00 PM. The artist will be there and will be happy to sign your (free) poster.
James Aldridge lives deep in the Swedish forest and creates intriguing canvases that will leave you wondering. Complex and rich in symbolism, Aldridge offers a new way of looking at nature. By using symbols and abstract forms alongside true-to-life depictions, he demonstrates how humans must always find a way to relate to nature.
In his paintings, Aldridge depicts the intertwined relationship between humans, animals, and nature. He draws inspiration from diverse sources, from historical field guides to heavy metal album covers. These sources then converge in his paintings. In this way, Aldridge creates a complex yet symbiotic visual language in which you can still discover new details after hours of viewing.
