We are very happy to represent Tho Simoes Street artist (Angola), being invited by the curatorial committee based on his #exchange exhibition at Openartexchange in Schiedam. You can visit the exhibition at the farmhouse Atelier Anna Blom, Hogeweg 90, Burgh-Haamstede, where his photography and paintings on various recycled surfaces are shown in combination with textile soft sculptures of Natalia Grezina (Ukraine). In addition, charcoal drawings and prints of Roebie Starink, collages and paintings of Anna Blom as well as outside sculptures of Arjen Witteveen are exhibited at this location. Enjoy some first impressions of the great variety of works at Atelier Anna Blom.
 
Simões’ works and performances call for social transformation, embracing the otherness, embracing the environment, embracing the vulnerable part of life and celebrating its diversity. Whether it are huge wall paintings, body-painted performances, videos, photography or paintings on all kinds of surfaces, Simões leaves his remarkably consistent urban signature, revolving around people cut back to their essence, Saõ Paulo graffiti messages, recycling materials and a hint of ancient African symbolism. Be welcome to discover the world of Thó Simões.
