'Can You Feel It?’

​​​

​

The first solo exhibition by designer Ronald van der Kemp, 'Can You Feel It'. In the past year (2024), Rademakers Gallery aims to prioritize Art, Fashion, and Design while also emphasizing sustainability.

The art collection by Van der Kemp includes a handmade, tailored couture jacket in gold and black brocade with gold leather detailing. The ceramic buttons seem to be directly inspired by Dalí and the pockets contain real euro notes: the colorful shreds of paper money come from misprints of De Nederlandsche Bank. 'I like that: the value of paper gets a new value via devaluation'; says Van der Kemp Reproductions of old master paintings, rejected picture frames, recycled Plexiglas, ceramics, deadstock couture fabrics, objets trouvés, and all that’s deemed unusable are the base for
van der Kemp’s creative concoctions. A Wunderkammer of works of art and fashion
including refined couture, 3d collage paintings, ceiling art, mobiles, jewelry, and sculptures. Almost every piece is one of a kind with its perfect imperfections, lingering between fantasy and reality, driven by Van der Kemp’s pioneering ‘new ethics’ mission, without forcing the concept.

“I believe that thought-provoking intuitive creativity and aesthetics, which touches people underneath the skin, will lead to much needed awareness, empathy and behavioral change in society.”
