EXHIBITION ALEXANDRA KLIMAS

Exhibition Alexandra Klimas

In this exhibition you can admire the realistic paintings of Alexandra Klimas from Saturday 5 February to Sunday 13 March 2022 at Van Loon Galleries.

Alexandra Klimas (Netherlands, 1970)

The realistic, almost lifelike painted animals of Alexandra Klimas are visually tangible and, if they were not oil paintings, would even be audible. Her models are farm animals with the black and white cows as a favorite. She paints these animals for a reason. Pets are pampered and adored, but animals for the meat industry are hidden from our eyes. She would like to draw attention to this group of ‘forgotten’ animals. Her models have names and force the viewer into an intimate relationship. And that is exactly her goal.

While sketching among the cows in the country, Klimas gets to know the animals personally. She tries to paint each animal as lifelike as possible and to accurately reflect its own character. The artist wants to make people feel more connected to these beautiful animals. She is concerned with the way we treat animals in the livestock industry during their lives and how we end their lives.
