Laguna Beach, California. Supermodels have been spotted at Hugo Rivera Gallery.
Hugo Rivera Gallery in Laguna Beach, California launched the "Supermodel" series by Marcel Schreur at the monthly art walk in this famous and historical art community. An important biennale in the Tuscany in September saw the start of his American exposure with interest from other major art galleries throughout the U.S., embracing his vibrant creativity and zest for life.
It sees the end of an exciting year for the Dutchman who lives and works in Kingston Upon Thames. The London Biennale, museum quality exhibitions in Kyoto, Japan and Chianciano,Italy, a visit to the Vatican presenting a portrait and two abstracts to Pope Francis and only last month an exhibition during the UN Forum on Migration and Development in Istanbul bringing his art to over 450 world leaders has given the Schreur global exposure.
Schreur is skill based visual artist that favours the medium of paint. He is self-taught and started out from nowhere by painting vibrant landscapes that have been labelled post-impressionist by critics. However, since then he has used his unique painting technique and use of colour to tackle portraits and more conceptual work with equal vigour, consequently breaking free from this initial labelling. If anything, Schreur is a pure expressionist as his extensive life experience never fails to play out on whatever canvas he chooses and heavily affect the viewer. Pigeon-holing aside, Schreur has won numerous international prizes as well as being represented by a successful London based gallery. All of this is somewhat inconsequential to a painter who creates largely to affect positive societal, if not humanitarian, change underpinned by his mantra: Life Is Beautiful. Always.
