It now includes the hotel&#8217;s restaurant and lobby. You would say, reason to make it even more well kept and beautiful. That was certainly the case when the hotel opened, but slowly but surely attention has waned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But we are at it again in the context of which we asked Marc Mulders if he would show work until the Africa exhibition. Marc still has beautiful work, but he wants something special and he is right. He thinks the space is a bit dilapidated and doesn&#8217;t really want to hang work on the wall we have in mind. We agree and Steef is there too. Marc likes the long wall now, but it needs to be painted and on the walls opposite his work there should be complementary work by another artist. The crazy thing is that we brainstorm about it, but overlook the perfect match. The following day, the choice is made; Marc&#8217;s paintings will hang opposite the specially crafted \u2018tile colour works\u2019 by RENS (Steef and Ren\u00e9e). Marc&#8217;s fantastic works, created in symbiosis with nature in his studio, will be displayed opposite the work of Steef and Ren\u00e9e, who tackle colour and texture analytically and systematically. They have specially created works to accompany Marc&#8217;s paintings for the exhibition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So it has now become an exhibition, rather than an interim fancy solution. Instead of making way for the Africa exhibition (Eindhoven-Dakar), featuring work by Bibi Seck, Sumah Hamidhou, Mambeye Ndiaye, Djibril Sagna, Ikev\u00e9 Mbaye, Hans van Bentem and Piet Hein Eek, both exhibitions will open simultaneously on 17 May. That&#8217;s not all, as \u2018art in the building\u2019 as a concept is now really taking shape. At the same time, the exhibition \u2018The Chair\u2019 by Jos\u00e9 Maria Guijarro will open and 30 drawings by Marc Ruijgrok will be on display at la Petite Galerie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"2048\" src=\"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/marc-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-78624\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/marc-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/marc-300x240.jpg 300w, https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/marc-768x615.jpg 768w, https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/marc-1536x1229.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/marc-2048x1639.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/marc-700x560.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Colour Garden of Marc Mulders &amp; Studio RENS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>2025<br>Marc Mulders has invited design duo Studio RENS to respond to his paintings,<br>an artistic dialogue where colour, symbolism and form merge.<br>Together, they explore the interplay of colours in a world of flowers and plants.<br>Inspired by this, RENS captures the essence of colour interactions in ceramic.<br>Their pieces reflect the hues and organic vibrancy found in Mulders\u2019 floral compositions, creating a<br>layered interplay between painting and material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In The Colour Garden, pigments and textures intertwine, offering a sensory journey through the langua-<br>ge of colour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ceramics were produced in collaboration with Cor Unum Ceramics in \u2019s-Hertogenbosch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/RENS_MarcMulders_ColourGarden_PHE_JeroenvanderWielen_01_LR-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-78617\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/RENS_MarcMulders_ColourGarden_PHE_JeroenvanderWielen_01_LR-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/RENS_MarcMulders_ColourGarden_PHE_JeroenvanderWielen_01_LR-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/RENS_MarcMulders_ColourGarden_PHE_JeroenvanderWielen_01_LR-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/RENS_MarcMulders_ColourGarden_PHE_JeroenvanderWielen_01_LR-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/RENS_MarcMulders_ColourGarden_PHE_JeroenvanderWielen_01_LR-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/RENS_MarcMulders_ColourGarden_PHE_JeroenvanderWielen_01_LR-700x525.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Wonder Room is one of the most beautiful concepts to have developed in the organic evolution of the property.
