About this activity.
From 1 to 31 December 2023, Marius de Schaar, artist from Vinkhuizen, will exhibit a paper cutout in black paper 'De Herders in de Velden' in the window gallery 'De Prachtvink' at the Vinkhuizen shopping center, Platinalaan 505a, 9743 GZ Groningen.
'The Shepherds in the Fields' is a paper cutout of 30 x 40 cm in black paper from 2019. In about 6 B.C. Jesus of Nazareth was born in Bethlehem. Jesus later became the central figure in Christianity, is considered the second prophet in Islam and some Hindu traditions consider him an avatar of Vishnu. That is why his birthday is celebrated worldwide: Christmas. Jesus' birth is surrounded by a number of miracle stories. One of the best known is recorded by Luke in the second chapter of his Gospel. Shepherds who watched over their flock outside at night were visited by an angel accompanied by a heavenly choir. The angel told the livestock farmers that the Messiah had been born in a stable nearby. Marius has depicted this scene in our own time and somewhere near our the Groningue located Bethlehem, on the Hogeland region.
Marius de Schaar has been a cutting artist since 2009. He makes New Dutch paper cutouts. He likes to take his subjects from his immediate environment, from toothpaste to a garbage can. Marius has a special interest in the architecture of the Netherlands. He likes to capture buildings with his scissors, from church to apartment building. Marius de Schaar has exhibited in various galleries and museums, including the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam. His work is included in various private collections.
The window gallery is an exhibition space that can only be viewed from the outside, but 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The gallery is illuminated until 11:00 PM.
