LITA CABELLUT //
MPV Gallery is proud to announce the presence of internationally acclaimed artist Lita Cabellut at PAN Amsterdam 2025. Cabellut is among the most influential contemporary artists today, and her work has been rewarded with prestigious awards and exhibited in leading art institutions.
In recent years, Lita Cabellut has received several prestigious awards. In addition, Cabellut was recently honoured with a major exhibition at the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando in Madrid, one of Spain's most prestigious art academies. This solo exhibition, inspired by Goya's Disparates, showcases her unique, emotionally charged works to a wide audience and is highly appreciated by art critics and art lovers alike.
On display at MPV Gallery at PAN is a selection of Cabellut's latest works, showing her balance of colour and texture. This presentation offers a unique opportunity to experience the art of this internationally recognised artist up close.
NEELTJE DE VRIES //
Neeltje de Vries is an Amsterdam-based photographer specializing in fine art and commissioned projects. Her images portray women from past, present, and future as if they were film stills, with nudity serving as a deliberate artistic choice symbolizing purity, nature, and liberation. These women exist unapologetically for themselves—untamed, self-sufficient, and uninterested in pleasing the viewer. Through this perspective, Neeltje challenges the traditional male gaze and patriarchal stereotypes, offering a vision of women breaking free from expectations and roles. Her background as a graphic designer shines through in her signature use of geometric shapes, balanced compositions, and inventive cropping that often integrates her models into the frame.
JACQUELINE BOZON //
Jacqueline Bozon (1966, NL) uses all her experiences, encounters and observations in her work and transforms them into a colourful interplay of lines. Colour is her language, a universal language that can be easily understood but also has multiple translations. She puts the lines on the canvas with her finger to feel the relief of the line so that extra depth is perceived. From 2 to 3-dimensional, grabbing the depth just like the layering in people.
Her vision of life is reflected in her work in a colourful combination of lines that take you on an adventure. Her technique is as mysterious as it is perfect; many painted layers separated by carefully applied synthetic resin. This creates a particularly spatial image.
‘The art is to see without thinking and not thinking you see’.
GIJS VAN LITH //
Gijs van Lith considers the canvas on which a painting is made as important as the material with which he paints it. Aspects such as materiality, the originality of the act, the relationship between gestural time and timelessness of the work, and the luminosity granted to the physicality of the painting, unquestionably cover all his work. Van Lith paints layer after layer, but also regularly scratches and rubs away, causing the canvas skin structure to show craters and burrows, accumulations and holes, with the end result having no front or back.
diederik schneemann //
Artist and designer Diederik Schneemann (b 1979, BE) is internationally known for his works that balance between art and design. Applied art in the broad sense of the word, meaning more than aesthetics alone. His works are characterised by evoking astonishment, a memory or a feeling. In his use of materials and shapes, he often uses existing objects and forms that carry their own charge or story.
Diederik Schneemann attracted a lot of attention at PAN in recent years, with his Cherished collection and Lucky Charms collection. And this year, a fine selection from this collection will be shown again.
CHERISHED COLLECTION //
In this ongoing collection, Schneemann transforms objects from personal collections into new design items. Think perfume bottles, matchboxes, smurfs or cigar bands. Where some see a meaningless pile of matchboxes, Diederik sees stories. A personal collection cherished over decades represents a certain value. Diederik Schneemann recognises that value and treats a personal collection with the same dedication as he would have done with an expensive material like marble or bronze.
LUCKY CHARMS COLLECTION //
Happiness is something we cannot grasp or measure. Some think it exists, others don't. In Lucky Charms, Schneemann tries to capture happiness in his designs. Because what if all the luck of throwing 6 ends up in a die? Then Schneemann's Lucky Charms are full of luck! Because all the dice used for this collection have all rolled 6 before being placed in the design.
NICOLETTE BÉNARD //
Nicolette Bénard is a Dutch designer and visual artist, known for her distinctive sculptures in which forms appear captured within plexiglass where light, shadow, and form engage in a dialogue of transparency and reflection. Her work explores the delicate balance between perfection and imperfection, inviting viewers to question beauty, identity, and the illusions we construct. Trained as a goldsmith and jeweler, she carries precision and refinement into her sculptural practice. Inspired by her mother’s elegance and passion for pearls, she developed Project B, a series where icons embody beauty, expectation, and subtle irony.
sylvestre gauvrit //
In his designs, Sylvestre Gauvrit (1977, FR) explicitly chooses flowing, organic forms. He experiences these forms in nature, in human movements and in the shapes and patterns evoked by the natural elements air, water and fire.
The sculptor usually uses marble or stainless steel. The new technical possibilities he applies allow him to give the material a natural flowing form instead of leaving traces of the process of chopping, chiselling and sanding.
Sylvestre's work exudes an almost natural ease as the lines and surfaces flow and swirl. A quality you find in both his small works and his monumental sculptures.
Sylvestre made a sculpture of Calacatta marble especially for PAN Amsterdam. Calacatta marble is particularly loved for its dark veins, which give it a warm and soft appearance.
willi siber //
The sculptures and wall objects by Willi Siber (1949, DE) are known for their dynamic forms and reflective qualities, creating playful interactions with light and space. From his studio in Germany, Siber pushes the boundaries of material and form. He captivates a wide audience with his unique artistic vision and receives worldwide recognition for his work thanks to his ability to transform simple materials into visually stunning works.
Besides its formal inventiveness, Siber's work is also notable for its use of colour. With a palette that ranges from muted earth tones to energetic pinks and greens, he seems to instinctively match form and colour, as it were. Arched base sculptures, covered in immaculate layers of lacquer, possess a luxurious sheen and beckon like jewels, while other works, covered in dark, powdery shades, are calm and subdued.
