Exhibition

Recall of Infinity follows the exhibition Endless Imagination and showcases the work of forty-one artists who have been nominated for the Special Award 2023-2024, a support program and visual arts competition for artists with disabilities. A selection of three works from each artist is featured in the exhibition.

Courage and Experimentation
The jury, comprised of artists Lisa Couwenbergh, Jacobien de Rooij, Roland Berning, and Paul Klemann, was deeply impressed by the boldness and experimentation with which these artists express their perspective on the world, each in a truly individual way.

What stands out is the enormous diversity of the works included in the exhibition, each defined by its own quality and character. The significant differences in subject matter, material use, and technique reflect the wide range of ages, interests, and experience of the participating artists. One common aspect is the profound passion evident in every piece—art created not for fame or fortune, but motivated purely by an inner drive.

The exhibition is divided into four themes: Inner Worlds, Interactions, Observations, and Fantasy Worlds. From surreal scenes and personal fascinations to dreamy biotopes and social commentary, these works collectively offer a unique insight into the creative world of artists with disabilities.

Special Award
The Special Award is an initiative by Special Arts, a national foundation dedicated to promoting arts and cultural participation among artists with disabilities. Through a wide range of activities, Special Arts aims to encourage and inspire these artists, along with others, to engage in the arts. The jury will select the winner of the Special Award 2024 from the artists featured in the exhibition. In addition, the public will have the opportunity to vote for the audience choice award.
