A gust of wind

Namuso Gallery presents A gust of wind gives voice to the trees, a collaborative group exhibition in collaboration with Dürst Britt & Mayhew Gallery.

In the works of Willem Hussem, abstraction is articulated through balance, restraint, and spatial awareness. Sparse gestures and subtle chromatic relations allow movement to be sensed through stillness, giving form to wind as atmosphere rather than depiction. His work establishes a historical foundation for abstraction as concentration and presence. 

Maja Klaassens’ Grass series translates natural movement into rhythmic accumulation. Built through disciplined repetition, her paintings register duration and variation without describing landscape, allowing nature to operate as a structuring principle rather than a subject.

Paul Beumer extends painterly thinking into textile and fibre, where folding, layering, and material behaviour embed movement directly into structure. Here, wind is sensed through gravity, surface, and material memory.
