Galerie Larik / DE ONTKNOPING – solo-expositie Roland Sohier

What happens when a gallery temporarily becomes a cave—not a stage set, but an experience? For De Ontknoping, Galerie Larik transforms into a kind of Lourdes Grotto: a sheltered, hushed space where light, shadow, and proximity shift the way we look.

In this setting, Sohier presents paintings and drawings in which Mary plays a central role. Who else is tied up in knots? Sohier, or perhaps yourself? Untangling is not an act of force, but of attention: it requires time, patience, and the willingness not to understand right away.

On this occasion, Sohier also presents a new sketchbook, printed in a limited edition specially for De Ontknoping. The booklet offers an intimate glimpse into his thinking and drawing process, enriched among other things by a poem by Astrid Lampe and a title page by Johan Lubbers.
This sketchbook will be available for purchase during the opening and the exhibition.
