Galerie Posthuys presents new bronze sculptures by Arno Goossens. The collection includes sparrows, cranes, a wren and a kingfisher. “As a biologist and sculptor, I am inspired by nature, especially by animals, their shapes and movement. I use animals to express my feelings by choosing a typical pose and behaviour of an animal. I make realistic figurative sculptures. It is not my intention to make an exact copy of the animal in its pose. It is my interpretation of the behaviour and movement of the animal. I want to portray the animals in such a pose that it looks as if they are going to move.” Galerie Posthuys (Brink 14, De Koog) is open from Wednesday to Sunday from 11 am to 5 pm.

Galerie Posthuys in De Koog is not a traditional gallery with classical works of art, but a meeting place where artists, visitors and buyers come together. Contemporary art Galerie Posthuys presents contemporary art. Some artists take the landscape and nature as their starting point, such as the dunes, beach and polders. With other artists, the starting point is less recognisable, but mainly tangible. Rhythm, handwriting and colour are more prominent here. The gallery has four rooms, each with its own exhibition. They regularly exhibit new work and can always be seen in the stockzolder space. In addition, ten new artists are introduced each year. Collaboration and activities Galerie Posthuys also has partnerships with other companies. For example, the gallery has been providing the art in Texelsuites since 2006. The exhibition of works of art in Bij Jef is also made by the gallery. Information about these works of art is available in the gallery. Some additional activities worth mentioning are the annual Haringnegendaagse (in June) and the open studio of Maurice Christo van Meijel – every first Sunday of the month during the summer period.
