Star Galerie, cordially invites you to attend Elise Talgorn’s Solo Exhibition Vernissage on Saturday 31 March from 16.00 – 20.00. See you all there!

Who is Elise Talgorn?
Elise Talgorn was born 29 years ago in Reims, France. She has lived in France, Spain and Italy, and is now working for five years in the Netherlands.
Elise was flicking through the home comic books collection before she could read. She started caricaturing her teachers before she could write. After a quarter of a century of sketching, she decided it was time to produce some more imposing artwork and began painting.
A Painter
She worked on two series of paintings based on neat lines and solid colours: les Calinous, a collection of tender, quasi-erotic embraces and the very religious Pilato/Crucifixion/Pietà triptych. In these paintings, the formal reinterpretation of these intimate themes creates a distance that protects the spectator. Unexpectedly, his subconscious reveals to him unknown desires, either from flesh or from faith.
A Cartoonist and a Portrait Artist
Staying true to her cartoonist past, she has created entertaining, sometimes cynical comic strips: the Pepette’s Chronicles, Jobless Pepette, A Horse with No Name, and Histoires A L’Ombre. She also worked as an event caricaturist and realized family portraits.
Award
Dutch light and her short-sightedness inspired several expressionist, partly abstract landscapes. Gele dageraad, a representation of a morning on Rotterdam harbor, won the Public prize of the exhibition “I love de Maas” and is now in the collection of the Maritiem Museum Rotterdam.

Paul Dirkse, a native of The Netherlands, was born and educated in The Hague. Paul was a dreamer during his school years, dreaming of travel and adventure in place he had only read about in books and seen on TV. No one was surprised when, at 15 years old, Paul bought himself a backpack and hitchhiked his way to the south of France. He later made his way to Israel where he lived and worked on a Kibbutz. After making friends with a number of Americans, he decided to try his luck “State Side”. His adventure continued in America, Canada and on to Asia, where his lifelong love of art started. While residing in Asia, he managed his own business exporting original Asian artwork and sculpture into Europe.
Paul is a self-taught artist. He works with acrylics and oils, and is constantly experimenting with new styles and methods. Paul believes that his best work comes without planning, but from the impulse of the moment. In his own words: “True beauty cannot happen without a touch of magic, and perhaps a little help from the heavens”.
Paul Dirkse’s masterpieces are more of the timeless windmills, sea and landscapes.
The gallery is open from: Monday to Saturday 14.30 – 20.00 and Sundays open by appointment only.
Prices of the paintings are from: € 50, – 1.500
Sizes are from: 22/28 cm. – 122/188 cm.

Dear Everyone,
I am writing this letter to inform you that the Spanish Tapas Buffet Dinner event that we have organized is being cancelled. Two of the musicians met an untoward accident last weekend and they are still recuperating until this date.
We will instead be holding a special sit down dinner for all the people who made reservations. The said dinner will be on the same date and venue of the initial scheduled event.
We hope that you would still be able to attend the sit down dinner at Le Mastroquest restaurant with us albeit in a simpler manner. Let me know until tomorrow if you are going to make it or not.
Thank you and see you at the dinner!
Sincerely,
Rowena S. Korbijn

Biography
My name is Karina Dukalska. I was born on the 1st December 1993 in a small city in Poland called Kielce. At the age of six my family decided to move to Holland. Back then I thought my life was being torn apart, because I was leaving my family and home behind. But now, I look back, and can’t do anything else than thank my parents. This move changed my life, in a way that cannot be described. In my opinion it shaped me into the person I am today; a happy and powerful young woman.
I’ve been going to international schools from the very beginning. Currently I am a senior at the International School of The Hague. This multicultural environment I’ve been in for the last eleven years made me very open minded. My friends come from all over the world. They share their stories about their home lands and other places they moved to, and this boosts my passion of travelling. I have seen a mayor part of Europe, but also Kenya and Cuba. Yet I am still thirsty to see more. My priority on my long list right now is Australia, India and Mexico. I know that seeing these places will make me grow. Not only widen my cultural understanding, but also expand on my artistic perspectives.
Other than travelling, I love photography –in particular lomography- and to paint with oil paint. I’ve been painting at a gallery run by Margarita Garces since 2003. My first works were pure observations of nature, and now they have developed into a play of colour and contrast. In my opinion, this is because all of my interests are starting to merge together. My recent paintings present the play of colour that is very common in lomography, details and contrast found in photography, and the main objects painted are gathered from places I have seen. All my travelling is reflected in my paintings. Without the travelling, I would not be able to present the authentic atmosphere of the places in my paintings. I try to present the passionate feeling that I soak in during my trips. I hope that the viewers can connect to the places that I have painted, in the same manner as I do. This is because the way I see the world is expressed through my works. They are windows which reveal my appreciation to the world in which we live in. In the future I plan to continue painting, to show the true colours of places that seem to be dull or neglected.
