Alberto Reguera: Homage to Aert van der Neer

January 20, 2023 - April 30, 2023

WHAT
Dazzled by the twilight of 17th-century painter Aert van der Neer’s (1603–77) ‘Moonlit Landscape with a Road beside a Canal (1645–50)’, contemporary Spanish artist, Alberto Reguera, created a new series of paintings as an homage to the celebrated artist of the Dutch Golden Age. Each of the paintings display an in-depth study of the representation of light and sky in the European tradition of painting, while engaging in a dialogue with Van der Neer’s ‘Moonlit Landscape’. This is the second collaboration between the gallery and the artist.

WHY
Aert van der Neer’s works exemplify the naturalistic renderings that are now recognised as one of the hallmarks of Dutch painting. Reguera’s contemporary works examine and connect directly to Van der Neer’s masterpiece, and the important painterly achievements of the Dutch painter’s generation. Reguera’s own depictions of the sky – both day and night – inevitably differ from the Dutch master, as Reguera incorporates his own sensibilities and experiences from throughout his internationally renowned career.
