Current and upcoming exhibitions :
ingrid simons | midzomernacht
18 september 2023 – 02 februari 2024
In de tentoonstelling Ingrid Simons | Midzomernacht komt de fascinerende samensmelting van dag en nacht tot leven. Haar kunstwerken zijn doordrenkt van de overweldigende kracht van de natuur en het onmetelijke, ruige landschap. Simons onderzoekt de sublieme grootsheid van de natuur en de nederigheid van de mens tegenover dit majestueuze schouwspel, waarbij ze de diepe verbinding tussen mens en natuur verkent.
Voor Simons is schilderen met olieverf en inkt een uiterst fysieke ervaring. Haar schilderijen overstijgen de grenzen van de natuurlijke inspiratiebronnen en worden expressieve ruimtes op zichzelf. Ze put uit de energie en de kracht die ze ervaart in het landschap en tracht die over te brengen op doek en papier.
De tentoonstelling eert de magische Midzomernacht, de langste dag en kortste nacht van het jaar, gevierd door eeuwenoude culturen als de Keltische jaarwielviering. Het symboliseert een tijd van vreugde en overvloed, toen de mens nog dichter bij de natuur stond.
Simons’ werk is een oproep tot bewustwording van de verloren verbinding tussen mens en natuur. Haar schilderijen verkennen ook de kleuren van de nacht, geïnspireerd door Van Gogh’s observatie dat de nacht levendiger en kleurrijker is dan de dag. De dualiteit van de nacht, de mystiek en de duisternis, dient als eindeloze bron van inspiratie.
Haar bijna 25-jarige carrière kenmerkt zich door internationale werk- en onderzoeksperiodes, waarbij ze haar artistieke horizon verbreedt en nieuwe media verkent. Zo werkt ze samen met keramiekmeesters in Portugal en creëert ze performances in de adembenemende natuur van Noorwegen en Portugal.
In Midzomernacht ontdekt u niet alleen haar evolutie als kunstenaar, maar ook haar diepgaande verbinding met de natuur, die ze op indrukwekkende wijze tot leven brengt in haar veelzijdige en krachtige kunstwerken

NEWS FROM THE STUDIO
In fall and winter 2022 I have invested a lot of my time transforming my studio in Museumkwartier Carolus in Valkenswaard, where I have been working since 2001.
Now there is more space to paint and teach in the main studio and more space to work on my ceramics, work on paper and preparing for my graphic art in the small studio.

“Darkness seduce me”
Solo exhibition
Livingstone Gallery, The Hague:
“New works inspired by the nocturnes of Jongkind, Turner and Van Gogh, partly made during her 2022 residency
at the Museum Van Gogh House in Zundert, the birth place of Vincent van Gogh. We were also able to obtain a few paintings for this exhibition which were made during her first residency at the Van Gogh House in 2017.”
“Where Van Gogh chose deep ultramarine for his nocturnes, she (Ingrid Simons) chooses the much brighter cobalt blue. As if the full moon shines in a sultry summer night. Even in the dark tones her color palette radiates warmth and optimism.”
Ron Dirven, Director-Curator Vincent van GoghHuis

“Ressonânçias da Terra”
Solo exhibition
Galeria Municipal D. Dinis
Museu Municipal Prof. J. Vermelho
Fundação OBRAS
Estremoz (Portugal)
14.05.2022 – 25.06.2022
Ingrid Simons é holandesa e pintora de paisagens, frequentou residências anuais, desde 2010, em Évora Monte e nesse período ela deixou de “interpretar” a natureza e passou a “experienciar” a natureza.
Atualmente pinta de maneira mais intuitiva e as suas paisagens tornam-se mais abstratas em forma e cor.
Ingrid também trabalha com cerâmica, em colaboração com os mestres ceramistas de Redondo, Xico Tarefa e Luís Rosado.
Uma exposição para admirar, onde o pincel e as tintas nos elevam às ressonâncias da terra!

Research Project:
“Terug naar de bossen van toen”
Spring & summer 2021
After 10 years of residencies in other countries I will start an in-depth research project and residency focussing on my birthground on May 1st.
During the Covid19 pandemic all international residencies were and are cancelled. Therefore I started exploring my homeground anew by making long walks, which arose the idea to go “back to the forests of the past”. My aim is to compose a new thematic collection of south-east Brabant in paintings and graphic work, inspired by the landscapes of my youth and my direct surroundings. What would be the influence of the “typical” light of Brabant and what would be her influence on my work?
The beautiful title is from the same titled article by Anneke van Wolfswinkel on my work in Eindhovens Dagblad (2014).
I am happy to announce, that she has confirmed to write an article about this project too.
I am very grateful with the support of Cultuur Eindhoven

The resulting works will be presented at MUGA Heerenveen (06.03-10.04.2022) and Albert van Abbehuis, Eindhoven in the beginning of 2023!
