I would like to invite you to the opening of the solo exhibition ‘Paper Trails’ with work by Joran van Soest. The exhibition opens 15 April from 15:00 – 20:00 and is on view until May 14.

In this solo exhibition, Joran van Soest (1994) explores the human drive for connection and how we can nurture our relationships, regardless of distance. Joran: ”Our relationships, how we are to each other, are subject to our individual imagination. The further away someone or something is, the easier it is to hold on to a beautiful memory.” This fragmentary feeling van Soest tries to convey by using intense colours and pitch black in one work and other work consisting of a few light lines, making it look almost like a sketch.

Joran uses different media such as video, painting, photography, printing and drawing techniques to create installations and collages. His artworks are impressive and intense, inviting reflection on how we experience and can understand relationships with others. Joran van Soest graduated from the AKV St. Joost art academy in Den Bosch two years ago. He exhibited at Art Rotterdam 2022. And was featured in several museum exhibitions. Most recently at the NoordBrabants Museum and the Gorcums Museum. In 2023, he stayed at the EKWC in Oisterwijk.
