Galerie Larik / ALL I HAVE IS NOW – Henny Overbeek
In All I Have is Now!, Henny Overbeek shows what it means to create out of the moment. His work is a direct translation of what he experiences and feels: love and loss, conviction and doubt, fortune and adversity. For Overbeek, life itself forms his palette: filled with jazz, books, friends, hip-hop, and graffiti. Everything that touches him ultimately finds its way into what he creates.
This exhibition revolves around the power of the now. Overbeek does not work from calculation or strategy, but out of necessity—the urge to create, share, and communicate. Each work is an echo of a moment, an emotion, a thought that could not wait.
All I Have is Now! is also a statement about artistry. You do not find your own voice by following others, by seeking to explain, or by meeting others' expectations. Rather, it comes from living through your own path, believing in making, and creating out of necessity. Overbeek's work exudes urgency, honesty, and trust in the creative process. For him, All I Have is Now! also stands for the inability to wait.
The exhibition features a multifaceted selection of works, ranging from ballpoint pen drawings and collage works to installations and video work. At least, that is how the exhibition begins, because after three weeks it undergoes a transformation.
For these changes, Overbeek collaborates with Marcel van den Berg, Marjolijn de Wit, and Ate von Hes. Collaboration forms an important starting point in Overbeek's artistic practice. For instance, he initiated The Books Happen, a remarkable and long-term art project centered around collaboration. In this series of artist's books, he invites others to create together in a way that is rare in the contemporary art world: without rules, without contracts, but entirely based on trust and mutual respect.
The artworks shift, installations grow, and new elements emerge on-site in the gallery. Everything contributes to the central idea: making art in the moment, fr
