Moving Gallery / Steen, Papier, Schaar
A game of material, gesture, and imagination
Three artists – Maeve van Klaveren, Studio Steenhuizen and Phlox van Oppen – each work in their own way with material and meaning. The title refers to the familiar hand game in which rock, paper, and scissors alternately defeat one another – a playful metaphor for mutual interaction.
In Steen, Papier, Schaar, three artists bring their work together in a game of material and imagination.
Studio Steenhuizen – steen: the duo Juul Meerdink and Emiel Steenhuizen shapes ceramics and earthenware into powerful objects that balance between art and design. Their work exudes craftsmanship, humor, and an earthy energy.
Maeve van Klaveren – papier: a familiar and beloved artist of Moving Gallery who has been gaining international acclaim with recent solo exhibitions in Berlin and London. In her drawings, she captures everyday moments in quiet, layered images. Using watercolor, pastel, and charcoal, she brings human closeness to life – the gaze, the hand, the gesture – in scenes that are at once intimate and recognizable.
Phlox van Oppen – schaar: she works with textiles, often repurposed, to weave stories about identity and vulnerability. In her work, slicing, cutting, and connecting literally merge: a soft force that evokes tension between protection and exposure.
Just as in the hand game, none of the three is stronger than the other: one work challenges the other, covers, reveals, or softens it.
