💥 EXHIBITION ANNOUNCEMENT 💥

Rudolf Bikkers - April 10th Opening Reception 

6pm - 10pm / All are Welcome

We are so excited for this upcoming exhibition as it has been a few years in the making!!   Working hand in hand with Rudolf’s estate, this exhibition will show work from the 60’s all the way up till the mid 2000’s. 

With so many technical terms regarding print editions and techniques, we decided to put together a glossary to help you pin down a better understanding.

We are thrilled to announce the successful completion of our mural project with @davidstrauzz at @100kellogg! David returned from Prague to create one of his incredible murals in the city where it all began at @bealart, and he spent nearly three weeks bringing his vision to life.

Over two years ago, a subtle tug at my sleeve during a visit to Museum London ignited what would become a dedicated pursuit. My wife and I found ourselves circling back to one work of art again and again during the Up With Art event, bidding in the silent auction until — to our complete delight — the piece came home with us. It now hangs in our collection, but that evening was only the first step on a far longer journey into the life and work of Rudolf Bikkers.

The Benz Gallery is proud to partner with the estate of Rudolf Bikkers, a celebrated Canadian artist and educator with strong ties to London, Ontario. Bikkers was a painter, printmaker, and entrepreneur whose distinctive style and significant influence on contemporary art continue to resonate.

Wow!!! What an unforgettable night we had at the opening of the Scared Stiff Exhibition! 🎃

If you missed the opening, don’t worry—the exhibition runs until October 31st, so there’s still plenty of time to immerse yourself in all the incredible work.

The exhibition is also now available online though our website, Come by and get spooked in the best way possible! 👻
