What is BeLEEF VK-Art Archive by Vivienne Kroes about?
EXHIBITION
In this exhibition, painted by Vivienne Kroes, she mainly depicts strong male and especially powerful female warriors/fighters and leaders who resisted the system and slavery. In particular, people who meant (and still mean) a lot to their people, who protected their kingdom, and who stood up for their rights and freedoms. This is expressed through music, their leadership, their rebellion, and what they stood for: their strength, faith, spirituality, way of life, beliefs, and hope. It is also a piece of forgotten black history. Read the explanation accompanying each painting in this series and you will see the common thread that connects these chosen individuals/subjects and thus formed Vivienne's Unseen Art Archive!
AUCTION
In addition to exhibiting this new series on these two days, Vivienne will hold an auction of her older works on the opening night. The proceeds will be invested in her goal of exhibiting her artworks from this new collection throughout Europe and in Nigeria/Africa in 2027. She is counting on your support to make her dream come true.
LOCATION
This exhibition is held at a beautiful location surrounded by nature, with wild horses grazing by the Rhine River.

Persons on this painting:
Attah Omeh Oboni became a symbol of anticolonial resistance and African cultural pride, remembered as the "King of Bees". His story highlights the deep conflict between indigenous traditions and
colonial rule, a powerful narrative of a leader who chose death over submission. The story of Attah Ameh Oboni and Queen Elizabeth II centers on a legendary clash of
cultures during a colonial-era meeting (around 1956) where the Igala King refused to remove
his sacred cap or bow to the Queen, symbolizing African dignity against British imperial Demands, leading to his forced removal and tragic suicide, with tales of bees emerging from
his cap when he finally relented, signifying his spiritual power.

See no evil, Hear no evil, Speak no evil
Painting on Wood / Acrylic
88 X 122 X 5 cm
This is how I see: see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil....we live in a different society, where people gossip instead of being uplifting, supporting, being real and loving to others. People's goodwill factor is about their own ego, making up their own rules, as long as they get their benefits from it for their own feeling, needs and feeling more important instead of helping someone in growing, health and wealth. It's a child play in an adult world.....

Serie off 2: RED & BLEU
Painting on canvas / Acrylic
195 X 195 X cm
RED Painting: Is about the Kayoba Tribe who won a lawsuit in may 2019 this year to save and protect a large area of the Amazon, they fight for the amazon rainforest, but their village was set on flames in august/september and more Amazon forest get burned down. Fires normally occur around the dry season as slash and burn methods are used to clear the forest to make way for agriculture, livestock, logging, and mining, leading to deforestation of the Amazon rainforest. Such activity is generally illegal within these nations, but enforcement of environmental protection can be lax. The government also uses this to burn out villages so the native culture will be driven out. The increased rates of fire counts more than 60% in 2019 led to international concern about the fate of the Amazon rainforest, which is the world's largest carbon dioxide sink and plays a significant role in global climate change.......
