exhibition · 2026-10-03

The exhibition "Come On, Play It Again" is currently on display at m.simons in Amsterdam, curated by Robbin Heyker. Central to the show is the work of Raoul De Keyser, the influential Belgian painter known for his exploration of abstraction and representation. Alongside De Keyser, seven contemporary artists—Peter Shear, Kurt Ryslavy, Matthew Musgrave, Ido Vunderink, Mirthe Klück, and Magnus Frederik Clausen—contribute to the theme of repetition and the concept of painting as an open process. This group exhibition invites viewers to engage with the dynamic relationships between the artists' works and De Keyser’s legacy.
