From the 17th of January, hotel Sofitel Legend The Grand Amsterdam will be the décor for the unique new art exhibition, Grand To be Grand by artists Rob Van Trier and Daffy De Vyldre.
The Grand To Be Grand exhibition is a depiction of the new 'grand' life we all desire after the uncertain last two years when both artists were frustrated not being able to create new artworks. The bright colours and textures of this unique exhibition invite all to be GRAND!
The Grand To Be Grand Exhibition can be visited daily at Sofitel Legend The Grand Amsterdam from the 17th of January until the 9th of April. No reservation needed.
The exhibition will also feature a unique masterpiece from Rob Van Trier. Since he was a child, Van Trier has developed a passion for motorcycles and throughout his career, he painted several cars and motorcycles. Together with the Head of BMW Motorrad in the Netherlands, Tom Crooijmans, they came up with the idea to paint one of the prototypes of the new electric BMW CE 04. Art connoisseurs will immediately recognize Van Trier's style in this unique object.
Rob Van Trier is a painter that is known for his work that radiates an amazing zest and painting pleasure, a lust and must-have for the art lover. Van Trier uses different styles that are used interchangeably, where the subject often determines the used style. He mastered the art to perceive what for others remains hidden. His paintings are made with "paint - in - paint", "colour - in - colour", and graceful lines. The viewer will be hooked by his paintings. The works of Van Trier are sold worldwide.
