VIP Opening Ronald Zuurmond | Hier en Nu | 29.11.2025 | 16.00 uur

Dear lover of art and culture,

It is our great pleasure to invite you to Ronald Zuurmond's first solo exhibition at ROOF-A. In the presence of the artist, journalist and publicist Edo Dijksterhuis will open ‘Hier en Nu’ (Here and Now) on Saturday 29 November at 4 p.m.

Through his slow paint and images that are both contemporary and timeless, Ronald Zuurmond connects with deep time, the time that measures in units many times greater than a human lifetime.

It is a bid for immortality, without the pretension of historiography. It is “here and now”, being in the moment, knowing that every moment in the past and future is a “here and now”. That is the motivation that forges all these seemingly disparate works into a whole.

But ask the artist about the essence of his style and he quotes Philip Guston: “You know, comments about style always seem strange to me – ‘why do you work in this style, or in that style’ - as if you had a choice in the matter... What you're doing is trying to stay alive and continue and not die.”

We look forward to welcoming you on Saturday, 29 November.

Join us under ROOF-A.
