Friday July 16 A new exhibition by Joe Holbrook: 'Three is a crowd' The last exhibition at the YOUR:OWN gallery will be coming from the English artist Joe Holbrook. For the last half year Joe Holbrook has been living in Amsterdam, using the city as a new palette, and getting in touch with the creative scene. One of the projects Joe has been involved in was the YOUR:OWN gallery. Together with Jeroen Smeets, he co-curated the artists in the gallery, as a way to reach out to new artists, and get fresh inspiration and influences. For his new exhibition titled 'Three is a crowd', the original idea was to portray each artist that exhibited in the gallery. But instead of focusing on portraits, Joe decided to focus on the moments spend in and around the gallery. Hereby capturing the creative energy of the gallery and it's artists through his own eyes. The new exhibition of Joe Holbrook will be showing a series of new oil paintings. A technique which Joe studied and developed over the last few months. Which make for "the best paintings i have ever done" according to himself. Besides the oil paintings there will be a series of drawings on paper on display.
