This morning we’re giving a shoutout to the stunning work of Elmar Janse & Merel Klomp ❄️✨

The idea for their long-term series ‘The Glacier Project’ emerged in 2018, when they witnessed a vast slab of ice breaking away from the edge of a glacier; breathtakingly beautiful, yet painfully finite. Since then, they have travelled across Europe, from France and Norway to Iceland, tracing the slow transformation of ice into water, and landscape into memory.

Their diptych ‘Outside In / Inside Out’ captures the ephemeral beauty of Iceland’s glaciers. Both works are presented as archival pigment prints mounted on dibond, framed in smoked oak. The diptych is available in an edition of 8 + 2 AP, with edition 3 currently available.

Come see these beautiful works in the gallery this weekend, or explore them in our online catalogue via the link in bio 🔗

Part of our current exhibition WHEN FLOWERS SLEEP is the work of , whose photographs bring softness and intimacy into a world that rarely slows down. After his ME/CFS diagnosis, his attention shifted to quiet moments that often go unnoticed, details that reveal themselves when we take the time to truly look.

On view are works from NESTED, a tender reflection on loss, the search for warmth and protection, and finding a new rhythm in the silence that follows. Also on view is WANDER, made during small detours from familiar paths, where limited energy meets the urge to explore, and even the smallest deviation brings unexpected beauty 🔍🍂

Seven works by Twan are currently on view at Ballon Rouge. Check the online catalog for more info via the link in our bio 🔗
