Little bit about the artist Hans Beers moved from Zevenbergen near Breda to Antwerp, seeking a house, studio, and gallery. He found them in the quiet Isabella Brantstraat behind the Palace of Justice. "It was clear from the start that I would move to Antwerp," says Beers. "This lawyer district is almost a village. It hasn't changed much over the years. The Anselmostraat and the Lange Lozanastraat are the commercial centers, with silent branches branching out around them, known as 'citizen streets.'" Together with Sonja Mertens Gallery and Huyse Molensloot, Beers showcases art, exhibiting his works or those of colleagues monthly. In various local spots, like the bakery and print shop, he hangs small works related to home exhibitions. "I can't make a living from it, but every now and then, I sell something. Life is good here," he adds. For his gallery's thirtieth anniversary, Beers exhibits recent gouaches and textile works alongside colleagues' pieces. Education and Training: Studied at the Academy of Fine Arts St.-Joost in Breda, completing a 5-year "Monumental Design" course. Obtained a didactic diploma for teaching drawing in Eindhoven. Followed a year of interior architecture at the Academy of Arts in Tilburg and a private course in the restoration of old row paintings in Breda. Activities: Founded a youth workshop in North Brabant, providing drawing, painting, and modeling classes for five years. Also offered occupational therapy to seniors for two years. In 1970, Beers moved to Antwerp, founding the Isabella Brant art gallery initially for other artists, later dedicating it mainly to his own work. From 1993, the gallery resumed exhibitions of other artists. Exhibitions: Beers participated in exhibitions in Breda, Heusden, Etten-Leur, Zevenbergen, Amsterdam, Antwerp, Deurne, Borgerhout, Zichem, Brasschaat, Ghent, and more.
