Venus and the female intuition

June 11th, 2007 by Ella Buzo

The travelling exhibition Venus and the female intuition features works by almost forty artists challenging the famous goddess of beauty and the mysterious concept of female intuition.

The exhibition offers a great variety of styles, techniques and traditions and is therefore a good representation of artists working in the visionary and imaginary field. The opening of the exhibition in The Netherlands was a big success and to me personally an unforgettable experience. It was a chance to see these amazing works in real life, meet some of the artists connected to Cabinodd as well as other participating artists like Reinhard Schmid, Brigid Marlin and Claus Brusen. It was also nice to meet René Zwaga and Herman Smorenburg who’s paintings I got to admire a week before.

The exhibition Venus and the female intuition is an initiative by Salbru Publish, a Danish-Dutch publishing house run by Marcel Salome and Claus Brusen. The exhibition is accompanied by a catalogue with an introduction by Steven Kenny. Venus and the female intuition opened in April 2007 in "Saebygaard Slot" in Denmark and can now be viewed at the beautiful Artsalon De Gouden Phoenix run by Saco and Marina Keikes in Leeuwarden, The Netherlands. The exhibition will finally travel to Princesse de Kiev in Nice, France.

Participating artists: Michael Parkes, Ans Markus, Patrick Woodroffe, Claude Verlinde, José Roosevelt, Claus Brusen, Jean-Pierre Alaux, Daniel Merriam, Daron Mouradian, Victor Safonkin, Lukas Kandl, Gil Bruvel, Kinuko Y. Craft, Steve Cieslawski, Bruno Di Maio, Michael Hiep, Danny Heinricht, Lamy, Monica Fagan, Igor Grechanyk, Zeljko Djurovic, Torben Hardenberg, Steven Kenny, Anne-Fieke & Eugene Later, Brigid Marlin, Michael Maschka, Shiori Matsumoto, Peter van Oostzanen, Isabelle Planté, Reinhard Schmid, Carsten Svennson, Oleksandr Melnykov, Paul Erland, Oxana Yambykh, Eli Tiunine, Siegfried Zademack, Olivier Zappelli, Marcheva Galina.
