Birds and Fish

'Like a fish in water' and 'Free as a bird in the sky.' Two sayings that express how perfectly equipped birds and fish are to move about in their own habitat. As a human being, you can have a lot of admiration for that. Exhibition 'Birds and Fish' brings together the work of four visual artists who have studied these animals with great admiration. They explored the essence of their being and pay tribute to nature with their work.

Blocbirds

From 10 March 2023, the Mondrian House will show Blocbirds by Paul & Albert, a duo at the intersection of art and design. Blocbirds is an award-winning series in which 25 birds have been reduced to abstract graphic compositions. The fascinating thing is that in this graphic appearance, the birds can still be recognised. The Mondrian House also selected works by Albert van Loon. The Zeist-based artist investigated the essence of a school of fish for a while under the title Go with the flow. Hélène Min used the real skin of fish for her abstract sculptures. In processing the wet fish skins, the artist experiences direct contact with the element they live in: the vast sea, in which the fish move in perfect balance.

Fun for children too

Around exhibition 'Birds and Fish' the Mondrian House organizes various activities for children. There is also a fun scavenger hunt for children aged six and over.
