Paper Art & Design is a gallery, shop and workshop for art and objects made out of paper. It is situated in what was formerly Vroom Modemagazijn established on Weimarstraat in 1936.

20 april – 6 juli Moved lines
Ina Fekken (installations) and Mathilde van Wijnen (wall sculptures)

Those two artists from Groningen (the North of the netherlands), has each her own background. Ina made, especially for this occasion, the installation “BARST” in the big windows of the gallery.The work is based on the problems of the gas extraction in her region. Also shown are “Bijou’s”, lasercut wall objects.

Mathilde’s work looks more introvert but it isn’t, because of the size of the works. Ze has a double life, as an artist and as musician. Her work is inspired by minimal music. You can see it’s rhythem by the colour and waves of the cut-out lines. Come and see by yourself her poetic works.

Paper Art & Design offers a platform for expositions and sales to national and international artists working with paper or cardboard. The exposition room consists of large display windows directly facing the street and the front part of the large space.

Lately we have seen many developments regarding paper art and design. An increasing number of artists and designers are using the unique characteristics of paper; and Paper Art & Design strives to propagate the properties and versatility of paper.

Loes Schepens’s studio is situated behind the gallery. Loes works with paper and graphic art. You can find her work in the gallery and on her website www.loesschepens.nl.

The age-old craft of manufacturing paper, with its large diversity of raw materials and techniques, is experiencing a revival. Workshops on how to make paper with vegetable fibres or according to eastern techniques are given on a irregular basis. Please subscribe to our newsletter to receive more information.

In addition to the works of art in the gallery, special paper and cardboard objects are for sale in the shop, such as water-resistant bags, accessories, lamps and other interior objects.

We invite you to visit us whenever you are looking for an inspiring gift, or if you would like to have something personal made, for example a custom-made object, a unique work of art, or a guestbook for a special occasion.
