the last two weekends at Biennale X Roermond


Biennale X, Roermond

Glass art is great for its colorful beauty, reflection and transparency. It's incredible how many different techniques the artist knows how to apply. Glass is forever, colors never perish. We can also discover this in the stained glass windows of Joep Nicolas. The discovery of a glass treasure in Roermond also attracts many visitors to the Swalmerstraat 100. The many volunteers worked in mud and water and saved the most beautiful pieces of oblivion. We know for sure. Roermond is a city of glass and that we must maintain.

We are approaching the two last two weekends of the glass art Biennale by Galerie Mariska Dirkx. More than 2,000 visitors have admired more than 300 works of art. The international supply of glass artists is surprising because of the techniques used and particular art concepts. You can really enjoy and that is very important to Galerie Mariska Dirkx.

de laatste twee weekenden

Glaskunst is schitterend door de kleurenpracht, de reflectie en transparantie. Het is ongelooflijk hoeveel verschillende technieken de kunstenaar weet toe te passen. Glas is voor eeuwig, haar kleuren vergaan nimmer. Dat kunnen we ook zien in de bijzondere ramen van Joep Nicolas die aangeboden worden. De glasvondst van Roermond trekt ook veel bezoekers naar de Swalmerstraat 100. De vele vrijwilligers hebben in modder en water de mooiste fragmenten gered van vergetelheid. We weten het zeker. Roermond is een glasstad en dat moeten we behouden.

We naderen de twee laatste twee weekenden van de glaskunst Biennale van Galerie Mariska DIrkx. Meer dan 2000 bezoekers hebben met bewondering gekeken naar meer dan 300 kunstwerken. Het internationale aanbod van glaskunstenaars is verassend door de gebruikte technieken en bijzondere concepten. U kunt er echt genieten en dat is voor Galerie Mariska Dirkx heel belangrijk.

Toegang gratis.  foto preview
