A Gallery for Fine Art & Fine Typewriters
Paisaje a los 50 / Landscape at 50
Join us for the opening of Paisaje a los 50 / Landscape at 50 by JEFF (José Emilio Fuentes Fonseca) at ACME Studios, curated by Xantha Berger.
This exhibition celebrates JEFF, one of Cuba’s most respected contemporary artists, as he reflects on memory, experience, and personal evolution. His first solo show, Paisaje a los 21 años (1996), marked the beginning of his journey. Now, at 50, he remains rooted in Cuba, rarely exhibiting abroad—making this European showcase a special occasion.
Through his distinct, imperfect brushstrokes, JEFF creates deeply personal, surreal narratives, blending childhood memories, social satire, and reflections on time. Paisaje a los 50 feels like both a reflection and a celebration; of looking back and looking forward, at the age of fifty.
Opening Reception: Friday, April 4, 18:00
ACME Studio, Frederikstraat 943 (Corner Mallemolen), The Hague
ACME Studios is a gallery of art and design that combines contemporary visual art with the functional beauty of vintage typewriters.

MOST RECENT EXHIBITION
Victor Schut:
PERSPECTIVA
until 31 December 2024

“I am transforming the ordinary into something extraordinary, finding joy in viewing everyday perspectives from unique angles. My focus lies in capturing intricate details, inviting viewers to wonder about the essence of what they see.”
Victor’s work is characterized by a keen sense of minimalism, geometry, and architecture, particularly within urban settings. He expertly highlights the clean lines and shapes of architectural forms, often framing his subjects against bold backgrounds to emphasize their structural beauty. This focus on simplicity and clarity encourages viewers to appreciate the elegance of minimalistic design and the interplay of light and shadow in urban environments.
Each photograph invites the viewer to make deliberate decisions about its perspective. For Victor, choosing the right angle is crucial—it transforms an ordinary scene into a compelling narrative. Similarly, viewers are encouraged to engage actively with the image, contemplating their emotional and intellectual responses to the composition. This dynamic interplay fosters a dialogue about perception, urging each observer to reflect on their interpretation of the space, the shapes, and the story being told.
Ultimately, Victor’s photography not only captures moments but also prompts viewers to explore their decisions within the frame, considering what they see, how they perceive it, and what it conveys beyond the surface. Both the act of photographing and viewing become shared experiences of exploration and reflection, adding an extra layer of depth to his work.”
PERSPECTIVA will open on November 14th and will continue through December.

EXHIBITIONS
Marijke de Wit:
Inside/Outside

“In these works, I sense an existential reference to the intimacy of an inner world, to both safety and isolation. Through the indirect thematization of this boundary, a tension arises between the shelter and familiarity of the inner world and the dangers and vulnerability outside.”
De Wit presents the viewer with beautiful expressions of stillness and tranquility through the richly coloured images of windows, building facades and gardens. In the paintings, there is an external serenity and, at the same time, an internal awareness of possibilities of thought, action and awareness.

DAN HALLMAN:
THE DUTCH YEARS
June through August 2024

“I am blurring the lines of what you see and creating what is not there. At other times I am using mundane moments of the day and presenting them in a way the viewer may never have noticed or considered to be compelling.”
These artworks are a representation of continuing bodies of work Hallman considers as abstract paintings or drawings manifested in photographic form. While shot with a digital Leica, the images are all produced in camera with no use of Photoshop or A.I. He manipulates reality through long exposures, “painting” with the camera, using found forms or physically creating shapes of light with the camera to make the image.

YANELIS MORA MORALES
SUPER-OBJECTIVES
May through June 2024
“Every textile of Yanelis Mora is a little piece of her thoughts, her anxieties, or her joys. It is her personal mental landscape, in colours and lines and shapes, very touchable, real and oozing authenticity”
Yanelis Mora comes from the world of dramatic arts. As a nationally celebrated actress in Cuba, already skilled in the making of costumes, puppets and scenographic elements, she has chosen textiles as a form of expression in the visual arts. Using the full potential of abstract language, the exhaustive study of color and light with its complex and sensitive patterns, she gives each of her constructed textiles a very distinct and powerful character of its own.

LOEK VAN VLIET
RIVER REFLECTIONS: Seascapes, Riverscapes and “Dialogue with a River”
April through May 2024

The photographs reveal van Vliet’s observations of humanity’s incursions into the natural world, some consequences of industrial processes and the artist’s efforts to “portray” in two dimensions the beauty of “quiet spaces” in the natural environment.
