Landhuis Bloemhof is pleased to announce the upcoming exhibition, Caribbean Spice, featuring acrylic paintings by Lesley Peterson. Caribbean Spice is not just an exhibition of paintings; it is an invitation to explore the unseen, to consider the possibilities beyond the known, and to engage in stories that linger on. The exhibition is set to open on Friday, April 26th, at 7 pm. Maghalie van der Bunt – George is the opening speaker for this event.
Caribbean Spice is on display till May 18th.
Lesley Peterson draws inspiration from the vibrant life stories of the people of CuraƧao, creating a narrative that transcends the superficial and delves into the depths of human experience. His paintings, bursting with Caribbean flavor, displays many windows into a multidimensional universe of time and space.
As a St. Maarten descendant with Caribbean roots, Peterson’s connection to the region spans generations. His artistic journey, from surrealism to what he calls “symbolic realism,” reflects his profound dedication to the arts. Despite a 42- year career in education, Peterson never ceased to cultivate his passion for art, continuously expanding his skills and knowledge.
Join us at Landhuis Bloemhof on Saturdays, May 4th and 11th, between 10:00 and 12:00, to meet Lesley Peterson in person. On May 18th, the last day of the exhibition, Peterson will lead an acrylic painting workshop from 9:00 to 12:00. To register, please contact info@bloemhof.cw.
