AAA FRESH 123

The Rotterdam–based artistic collective ‘AAA’ continues to bring ecstasy and thrill to the global art scene from the historic Dutch city. Inspired by their upbringing in the ‘Gateway to Europe’, Hans Kleinjan (1958), Maikel Kleinjan (1984) and Roderik Faasen (1990) have developed their unique signature artistic movement for upwards of a decade. A product of what they call ‘Maniacism’, their paintings come to life through both individual prowess and unmatched collaborative efforts. A sure sight to behold, their collaborations – dubbed ‘AAA Collabs’ entail a simultaneous painting effort, where the three artists paint side-by-side in a live setting, concluding with astonishing pieces of artistry. For them, ‘Maniacism’ as an artistic movement represents the “information–overload era we live in today. A continuously accelerating change of perspective that fuels AAA with inspiration and passion” In their new exhibition ‘Collective Consiousness’ AAA displays a series of artworks that propagates the time we live in.
