We are thrilled to welcome you to a unique exhibition experience!
Ivar in collaboration with WILLAS contemporary is proud to be the first to present Between the Sea and the Sky by Jimmy Nelson outside the Netherlands. Carefully selected, large-scale photographs will grace the walls of IVAR, Västra Trädgårdsgatan 15, during March and April, opening on March 17th, 2023.nly
In his latest body of work, Jimmy Nelson presents portraits of twenty Dutch communities wearing regional traditional dress and the environment that shaped them. During the recent pandemic, which restricted travel across the world, Jimmy Nelson realised he didn’t need to travel to the ends of the Earth to discover outstanding human beauty.
This insight gave rise to a new project much closer to home: Between the Sea and the Sky, an ode to the Netherlands, Nelson’s adopted fatherland. The artistic voyage visits the last remaining traditional cultures in the Netherlands. The contrast and depth create the effect of a romantic painting, subtly hinting at the work of the Dutch masters from the Golden Age.
The exhibition is open to our guest and friends at Ivar. It is open to the public by appointment only. Send an e-mail if you like to get a closer look.
