IMAGINE:
Welcoming the New Year at The White Room Gallery
2026-01-06
We are excited to be part of IMAGINE, the new group show at The White Room Gallery in the Hamptons, NY.
The exhibition centers on imagination as a catalyst for artistic creation — a theme that strongly resonates with our work. Our pieces explore love, desire, conflict and connection, often balancing humor with provocation. Works such as Stuck, Catwoman Shoots Batman, Love #4 and Doggy Style play with iconic imagery and cultural symbols, inviting viewers to question familiar narratives.
Exhibiting these works within IMAGINE feels like a natural fit and a meaningful way to begin the new year.
On view January 10 – March 1, 2026

When stories connect — a night that stayed with us
2025-10-12
Last weekend we performed to a sold-out crowd at the Weijertheater in Boxmeer — and it was truly something special. We shared our stories and images with an audience that was with us every step of the way. The atmosphere was electric; everything just clicked. There was laughter, silence, reflection, and connection. It all came together in a way we won’t soon forget.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who was there — your presence and energy made the night unforgettable.
And the best news?
We’ll be back on March 7, 2026!
Once again, we’ll return to the Weijertheater to share our work, new moments, and hopefully, that same incredible vibe.
Mark your calendars — we can’t wait to see you again!
