Rudy de Gruyl & Benedikt Fischer

Rudy de Gruyl is a philosopher, collector, and painter, who works at Outsider Art Galerie in Amsterdam. He isn’t shy of using colours and has had several thematic phases in his work: aliens, animals, nude studies, TV shows, fruit, and typography. He and jewellery designer Benedikt Fischer have quite a few things in common: they both enjoy smoking rollies, male buttocks and finding treasures in the streets. Benedikt graduated at the Rietveld Academy and the jewellery he crafted from shells and his banana-shaped candleholders have been an international hit.

The result of their intense collaboration is a series of colourful and homo-erotic jewellery pieces that they present on furniture of their own design.

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.
