NEW YORK, NEW YORK, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, May 12, 2022 /EINPresswire.com / -- MvVO ART/AD ART SHOW 2022 will feature selections from an extraordinary series of photographs by Dutch photographer Caroline Sikkenk. The photos will be displayed on monumental digital advertising screens May 15 to May 21, 2022, in a special show within the larger AD ART SHOW, and on the MvVO ART Artsy gallery page. Caroline Sikkenk's participation in AD ART SHOW is being supported by the American Friends of the Mauritshuis and the Mauritshuis in The Hague—home of the Vermeer masterpiece—and now celebrating 200 years since opening its doors to art lovers.
“Our Girl with the Pearl Earring is as enchanting as she is relevant. She inspires people from all over the world and Caroline Sikkenk's explorations of 'Girls with Pearls' brings another layer of universality to this much beloved Vermeer painting,” Martine Gosselink, General Director of the Mauritshuis.
A professional freelance photographer working in advertising for many brands, NGOs (including Unicef), arts organizations, and in fashion, Caroline Sikkenk was inspired by Vermeer's iconic 'Girl with the Pearl Earring' to create a series of portraits featuring girls—and boys—with pearls. No longer one girl, she is every gender, age, and race, all photographed in poses and in golden light reminiscent of the original masterpiece, revealing the essence of Vermeer's beautiful Girl in each figure.
“In the mirror of Vermeer's eye, everyone equally becomes that stunning individual captured in an intimate moment,” Caroline Sikkenk said.
MvVO ART/AD ART SHOW, now in its 5th year, celebrates the Art (paintings, sculptures, works on paper, photography, etc.) created by the talented artists working in advertising, commercial design, and related fields. The artwork is displayed on digital screens for the month of May at the Westfield World Trade Center inside the iconic Oculus in New York city—a shopping and dining destination, transit hub in downtown Manhattan.
“We're excited about Caroline's exceptional work! Her timely message of inclusion and diversity, and her beautiful photos will thrill art lovers,” Maria van Vlodrop, CEO and Founder MvVO ART and creator of AD ART SHOW.
“The Girls with Pearls” feature show can be seen for 20 seconds, every 16 minutes, 24/7 from May 15 to May 21, 2022, at the West Concourse, between Brookfield Place and the Oculus in the World Trade Center Underpass on 4 monumental screens. This feature alternates with the group show which includes“The Girls with Pearls”.
