Spring 2026
February 14 – June 7, 2026
A wide selection of never-before-seen monumental harbor scenes painted on ship packaging material by Jan Roos (1951), one of the most important Frisian painters and a permanent fixture at Museum Belvédère. Since the 1980s, Roos has been expressing his impressions of the shipyards and the harbor of Harlingen with broad, expressive painting gestures. In the open air – often in all weathers – he sets up his compositions, and then completes them in the studio.

The solo exhibition of visual artist Joyce Zwerver (born 1990) features monumental installations and sculptural collages. Site-specific work plays a key role in these works. Inside, outside, in the landscape, or with the landscape; the artist visually approaches the location in a search for usable forms, lines, dimensions, and proportions. Sometimes the artist seeks a contrast, sometimes a poetic coherence. Simplicity, tactility, materiality, and harmony are the guiding principles.
Joyce Zwerver studied at the Minerva Academy and the Frank Mohr Institute in Groningen. She lives and works in Groningen.
