Royal Delft Museum X STRAAT Museum Amsterdam
The subtitle from Bricks to Tiles refers to the creative leap made by six international street artists: from the surfaces they know best to the world-famous earthenware of Royal Delft. During two artistic residencies they brought their own visual language together with the centuries-old tradition of Delft Blue.
The first residency took place in November, when the artists worked live in a temporary studio inside Royal Delft Museum. This produced six monumental tile panels in which the expressive power of street art meets iconic Delft Blue.
In addition, each artist painted a selection of objects from the Royal Delft collection in the characteristic cobalt blue, complemented with polychrome colours and gold decoration. In doing so they made the step from a flat surface to three-dimensional objects.
This special exhibition was created in collaboration with STRAAT Museum Amsterdam, the museum for street art and graffiti on the iconic NDSM wharf. By combining the expertise of both museums, two contrasting art worlds meet in a unique presentation where tradition and contemporary street art come together.
