Bobbi Essers, Tip of My Tongue, 2022

A hands-on start to the week. For anyone in, or planning a trip to Amsterdam, be sure to bookmark Best of Graduates 2022, the annual exhibition at Galerie Ron Mandos dedicated to foregrounding the work of some of the most talented new graduates from art academies across the Netherlands. Organised by the Ron Mandos Young Blood Foundation, the show opens this Friday August 5 and remains on view until September 17. This painting was made by Bobbi Essers, graduate of HKU, Utrecht, who creates intimate close-ups featuring isolated body parts to intriguing effect.
