TEMPORARY EXHIBITION

BEAUTY BENEATH THE SKIN. RENÉ VAN DEN BERG SHOES

Until 30 april 2023

René van den Berg is a designer and teacher from the Netherlands, who finds his creativity in technique and a non-conservative and even adventurous way of looking at footwear.

René van den Berg looks at the projects in his hands with humour, inverting and deconstructing the pre-defined structures and the instituted places of materials and components, creating objects that question the traditional systems of construction, fixing and decoration.

The exhibition Beauty Beneath the Skin. René van den Berg Shoes, brings together fifty-one shoes, various objects and three sculptures and inaugurates, thus, the presence of the artist in Portugal.

This is the first solo exhibition of the designer nicknamed The best kept secret in shoe business.
