Art brothers in dialogue: Bade and Martha in The Healers

In the 'The Healers' exhibition at Kunsthal Rotterdam, David Bade's assemblage sculptures and paintings enter into dialogue with the work of Tirzo Martha. These two artists, who have known each other for decades and can be called "art brothers", create a fascinating interaction by combining their unique and idiosyncratic styles.

Bade's work is characterised by the use of everyday materials and objects that he transforms into poetic and humorous images. Martha's art, on the other hand, is more abstract and conceptual, focusing on themes of identity, migration and cultural mixing.

Despite their stylistic differences, Bade and Martha share a fascination with the human condition and the power of imagination. In 'The Healers', these shared interests come together in a powerful and inspiring exhibition that invites visitors to reflect on the beauty and complexity of life.

The exhibition can be seen from 10 September 2023 to 14 January 2024 at Kunsthal Rotterdam.
