N_W Art Gallery was founded by brothers Caspar and Thijs, driven by their interest in art and design. Introduced to the world of modern art at an early age, their journey of discovery began long ago. Today, they've transformed their shared passion into opportunities for artists, meanwhile fulfilling their own desire to create new experiences for art enthusiasts and themselves.
The gallery is located at Westeinde 22 in The Hague, a place with a rich artistic history. N_W (pronounced "new") continues this tradition by exploring the diverse contributions that various artists and art forms can bring. From exhibitions in the gallery to collaborations and events at different locations that connect art enthusiasts, N_W aims to foster interaction within the art community, uniting and promoting both emerging and established artists.

Art by Hara Athanasopoulou is showcased during our exhibition 'Echoes of preservation'. Her research into the craft of textile production penetrates the complexity of textile fabrics, but also focuses on the role women have played for centuries in designing and manufacturing these fabrics. Inspired by her grandmothers in Greece, who were the first to teach her the art of needlework, she tries to unravel the complex relationship between textile making and the significance women have had for it throughout history. Just as a fabric is built up layer by layer with angelic patience, so a drawing can be woven together stitch by stitch with great precision with a stunning visual result. With reconstructions of the textile working process, Hara not only exposes the beauty of structures and patterns, but also highlights the resilience, creativity and artistic skill with which women from generation to generation sustained themselves with this.

Lenny Stöpp joined N_W Art Gallery and is presenting his art during the exhibition 'Echoes of preservation'. During his design process, he adopts a hands-on approach to the materials he works with. His work is shaped by repurposing existing techniques, such as in the way he designs a mould. Through constant research and experimentation with various techniques, he questions how everyday objects are approached by transforming them. Cornice is an ongoing collection of containers that are made by experimenting with the traditional technique of running cornice. The traditional method of running cornice has been used for centuries to embellish interiors and exteriors with plaster ornaments. Photo by Efthymia Papadima
