Explosion of colours
Once you’ve returned to Kalkar after your day trips discovering all about the Rhine and Romans in this area you might want to have a quick look at a current exhibition at the Beginenhof: “Explosion der Farben – Fons van Dommelen”. It is on the way to the Ratskeller, where you can enjoy your well-earned dinner afterwards.
The Dutch artist Fons van Dommelen has a distinct style using strong colours and sharp lines in his paintings and sculptures; creating energetic and powerful pieces of art, which are pleasing to the eye and stimulating for the mind. His figurines have a naïve appeal, while the abstract style of his other sculptures and paintings encourages a more critical approach. I hope you enjoy discovering him as much as I (Petra) had.
As your stay in Kalkar occurs during the middle of the week, it might be a bit quiet in town, but what an excellent opportunity to enjoy the views of the Rhine and the city center at leisure.
