Nikke Naeme & Lotti van der Gaag

An exhibition at Ambassade Art Gallery, Amsterdam.

This exhibition brings together the work of contemporary artist Nikke Naeme and CoBrA artist Lotti van der Gaag (1923–1999). Both artists share an instinctive and expressive approach to exploring the human condition.

Naeme’s layered paintings examine identity, perception, and the complexities of the psyche, while Van der Gaag’s imaginative works populate the world with hybrid beings shaped by fantasy and transformation.

Explore the dialogue that emerges between their practices, revealing striking parallels in their treatment of vulnerability, selfhood, and imagination. Van der Gaag’s presence is not merely historical; it raises enduring questions about visibility, recognition, and how artistic value is assigned over time.
