Opening: Where We Land
Join OSCAM on Thursday, June 11, for the opening of Where We Land, the first solo exhibition by Paramaribo-based painter Vanity Wezer, presented as part of the Young OSCAM Art Kitchen (YOAK). In figurative paintings, Wezer captures the quiet, everyday rhythms of life in Suriname and explores how place shapes the way we experience time, inhabit space, and find meaning in the everyday.
Working with acrylic on canvas, Wezer brings together scenes from daily life and the natural environment of Suriname. Her paintings reflect the climate, landscape, humidity, light, and stillness of the country, capturing the tension between knowing where you come from and the gradual process of coming home to yourself and your surroundings.
Vanity Wezer is a self-taught painter and part of the interdisciplinary creative collective LFMC (Lowrey Foley McClane), which offers a multi-rooted perspective within the Dutch creative community.
