Arie Berkulin (1939) although mostly a sculptor, has always done drawings and watercolours as well. He shows a series of small watercolours of the polder that surrounds his Zeeland residence in the southern islands area of the Netherlands. They were done in the winter season of 2010.

Karin van Dam (1959) reflects upon her stay in Tokyo in 2009 in these fragile collages, constructions from various kinds of paper- cut/ folded, connected by strings and covered with graphite, parts of photographs and industrial materials. They are her filigrain paper vision of this big city, with its three layers of traffic which can be turned to rubble by an earthquake at any given moment.

Hinke Schreuders (1969) shows a new series of small works on paper. For them, she has selected pages of ladies' magazines from the fifties and sixties. These pages with their pictures of fashion models have been treated with ink and yarn. Additions and changes have infused the original photographs with a different atmosphere.

---

Jonathan Bragdon (1944) tries to capture and reconstruct scenes that he has witnessed. He looks for a way of working that is neither abstract nor representational, neither conceptual nor narrative, but that participates directly in the existence of the things he sees.

---

Hamid El Kanbouhi (1976) draws the world as a burlesque melting pot of conflicting interests, with the powerful opposed to the meek- not as a messenger but as an observer of the condition humaine. Some of his works evoke his North-African background.

---

Chiaki Kamikawa (1976) explores the border between personal and universal images. By using vague images such as memories, she tries to capture and reconstruct the scenes which are in one's mind often twisted, decorated and re-structured.

---

Lotte Klaver (1981) draws persons and postures that arise from her imagination- although she is also an observer, and takes her inspiration from the people she sees. For most of her drawings she uses black Indian ink, and a soft brush.
