SENS Gallery is pleased to announce “Dancing into Spring”, a solo exhibition featuring new works by Dutch artist Bart Kok. This exhibition marks Bart Kok’s second solo show with the gallery, having previously debuted his works in Asia with SENS Gallery’s ‘An Acorn Fell On My Head’ exhibition in December 2022. The show features work created between 2023 and 2024, highlighting the distinct blue tones of the woodlands in Kok’s paintings to portray the arrival of the spring season.

Kok’s work blurs the lines between the corporeal and the fantastical, featuring distinctive, abundant landscapes that emanate feelings of vitality. Upon a closer look, it can be observed that each painting is decorated with a variety of patterns that encapsulate the otherworldly landscape. Despite the similarities in the colour tones and hues of his earlier works, Kok utilizes these characteristics to create a refreshing outlook of the world, particularly where life comes anew with the arrival of spring. In contrast, these same blue and cerulean tones of his earlier works highlight the coming of winter; the dark blues emanate the comings of the cold weather. Like his previous series, Kok explores his fascination with the mysteries of life – the quiet felt between the trees, and the stillness of lakes in lush nature, encapsulates these feelings.
