A couple of months ago I attended an opening at the new Streetlab project space at Meneer De Witte and was impressed by the paintings of UK artist Joe Holbrook. So when I heard that he was having a solo exhibition at Sid Lee Collective I was there in a flash. Tender ‘N Tasty is a collection of eight new paintings, four drawings and the coolest rubbish bin I have ever seen. It closes 31 March so get yourself down there now!

The greatest thing about being Dolly Rogers is that we get to work with super nice and extremely talented people, who are our friends. I’d like to introduce you to the talented young Victor De Bie.

He asked us for a website with a cms to showcase his plethora of artworks and accessories, together with his commercial styling work. We’ve just launched www.victordebie.com.  Designed by us fine folks here at Dolly Rogers and masterfully built by Erik Escoffier.

Spot Store is a funky new shop and gallery space in de negen straatjes run by really nice people, Tim and Niels.

With a fresh approach of working together with local artists, they present a whole range of design toys, prints, etchings, chairs, crabs, custom sneakers, laptop sleeves and canvases. As well as their own Spot tee’s with original prints, plus labels such as Ontour, Bench and more.

We’re super excited that they asked to showcase our Zaishu chairs from the Amsterdam project, which are now exclusively available here.

Friendly prices and great art. Drop by and see for yourself.

Is this the future of art installations? We certainly hope so!

If you’re in Amsterdam right now head over to Centraal Station to see this government approved 60 ft. wonder created by Shepard Fairey of Obey, for those of you not familiar with Mr Fairey and his work you should take a minute to go forth and observe it here.

Thanks to Nalden.net for the tip off.

It’s exciting times here at Dolly Rogers with so many new projects rolling in the door. Here’s a sneak preview of the stylish new website we’ve designed for our very talented, very chic artist friend, Victor De Bie. The site is being masterfully constructed by the brilliant “anything is possible” Monsieur Escoffier.

We can’t wait to see it up on-line. Stay tuned for the big launch in September 2009!
