An exhibition of contemporary Dutch art in the Hilton Dubai Creek

Hilton Dubai Creek will host an art exhibition featuring the work of seven acclaimed artists from The Netherlands from 6 th February to 4 th March. The exhibition, which is free of charge, is partly inspired by ‘flowers’, and will be on show throughout the hotel and its restaurants.

Organised by Dutch art consultants, Enterprise & Art, the showcased works include disciplines such as photography, tapestry, glass, oil on canvas, pastel on paper, silkscreen and gold leaf on wood. The featured artists are Michael Berkhemer, Barbara Broekman, Peter Bremers, Evert den Hartog, Margriet Smulders, Hennie van der Vegt and Martin van Vreden.

“All of the artists are well known in The Netherlands and abroad. Their work is represented in the best corporate, as well as museum collections and is sold in renowned galleries.” said Mr Erik Hermida, Enterprise & Art.

According to marketing communications manager, Hilton Dubai Creek, Ms Yvonne Luedeke, the artworks on display at the hotel are diverse, “…from the prominent use of geometric shapes in the works of Berkhemer to the monumental tapestries of Broekman and the glass sculptures by Peter Bremers, this is an impressive collection which art lovers in Dubai should not miss.”

“The emphasis of the exhibition at the Hilton Dubai Creek focuses on a flower theme. It is no surprise, that many outstanding Dutch artists draw inspiration from the colourful world of flowers which surrounds them in The Netherlands.” added Yvonne.
