The exhibition ‘SUGAR RUSH’ presents new works by Mario Picardo and Saar Scheerlings and blends colorful paintings with soft monochrome sculptures.  

Chilean-French artist Mario Picardo (*1985) has studied Fine Art at the ‘Ecole nationale supérieure des Beaux Arts de Paris’ in Paris, France. With the urban landscape as his source of inspiration, the artist creates multilayered colorful paintings, accentuated by his use of the airbrush gun, revealing elements of pop culture and cartoons. Mario’s work has recently been on view at the Ludwig Museum of Contemporary Art in Budapest, Hungary.

Saar Scheerlings (*1990) has studied at the Design Academy in Eindhoven, The Netherlands. Saar’s work is often triggered by the beauty and dedication of old materials like antique linens that she uses for her sculptures. With a laborious process of sculpting, cutting, sewing and weaving she breathes new life into these materials, transforming them into monumental talisman sculptures. Saar’s work has recently been exhibited at Palais de Tokyo in Paris, France.
