Patta & Desmond Tjon A Koy & Regilio Benjamin

Patta opened its doors in 2004 and quickly grew into one of the best-known Dutch streetwear brands. Co-founder Guillaume Schmidt sees Patta as one big family full of creatives who find each other in streetwear, music and (street) culture.

Both Regillio Benjamin and Desmond Tjon A Koy have become part of this family. They both work at Outsider Art Galerie in Amsterdam. Regillio is a visual artist and former world champion 100 metres in track. His colourful paintings are full of running track patterns that slowly turn into abstract prints inspired by Surinamese fabrics. Desmond works with pencil and fineliner on themes related to rap culture on the one hand and religiously or culturally inspired on the other. In 2021 Regillio and Desmond launched their joint collection for Patta.

The Grand Palace of Everyone

In collaboration with No Limits! Art Castle

Curator
  • Heske ten Cate & Jan Hoek

Welcome to ‘The Grand Palace of Everyone’, a land without borders where collaboration reigns.

Together with No Limits! Art Castle (formerly known as Outsiderland) we tear down the walls between fantasy and reality, art and design, and ‘insider’ and ‘outsider’ artists. Why would anyone decide who is ‘professional enough’ to enter the gates?

The Grand Palace of Everyonerolls out a black and white carpet for the work of over sixty artists in 26 unique collaborations between talented and dedicated artists. Side by side they find their way in the art world and present a broad scope of collaborations in every nook and cranny of Nest. Never before have so many artists shared the space in one exhibition.
