Deep purple blues, grays and yellow green colors giving associations with the kosmos or landscape. In this exhibition he will show a new series of works on paper.

Work by Ronald Noorman, who passed away five years ago, will be shown for the first time at Slewe Gallery. Noorman’s oeuvre consists of works on paper and prints. His drawings, mostly in black and white, are characterized by simple forms. They are expressive in execution and have an intimate scale. For the spectator it is exciting to follow the artist’s hand in the traces of charcoal, gouache, pastel, ink and pencil. On show will be a selection of his last works on paper in which color plays a more prominent role.

Noorman (1951–2018) lived and worked in Amsterdam. After his study at the Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam he only devoted himself to drawing.
