The mecca for classic car enthusiasts, Gallery Aaldering presents a fascinating art exhibition that penetrates deep into the rich canvas of decay and oblivion. The exhibition, “Explore the beauty of decay”, by photographer Daan Oude Elferink runs until September 30 and is a unique experience for both car enthusiasts and art admirers.
Gallery Aaldering: a family business with passion and tradition
Before we zoom in on the artworks of Oude Elferink, it is important to understand where this exhibition takes place. Gallery Aaldering has been a household name in the world of classic cars since 1975. Driven by a deep-rooted love for cars, founder Nico Aaldering and his son Nick have built an empire that is regarded as one of the largest classic car dealers in Europe.
Located on Arnhemsestraat in Brummen, the striking showroom with its neoclassical style offers space for around 350 classic cars, spread over four floors. It is a living testimony to the journey from a small company to a leader in the classic car world.
Old Elferink's work: a perfect harmony with Gallery Aaldering
Capturing the beauty of decay in abandoned spaces, Daan Oude Elferink's art forms a fascinating dialogue with Gallery Aaldering's classic cars. Just like these cars, the locations that Oude Elferink photographs are also timeless witnesses of times gone by. They are abandoned, but not forgotten, and that also applies to the classics that are carefully preserved and exhibited at Gallery Aaldering.
Risk and adventure: the mystery of abandoned places
Oude Elferink's work is not just a photographic achievement but an adventure in itself. Whether it's evading security or braving dangerous structures, Oude Elferink is willing to take risks to shoot the perfect picture. And just like the Mille Miglia rally in which Gallery Aaldering participates, this sense of adventure completes the experience.
The Palms Collection: hidden treasures of classic cars
One of the highlights of the exhibition is Old Elferink's Palm Collection: a photo series that shows rare classic cars in a dilapidated condition. These images are sure to resonate with visitors, given the Gallery's own extensive collection of classic vehicles.
