N_W Art Gallery was founded by brothers Caspar and Thijs, driven by their interest in art and design. Introduced to the world of modern art at an early age, their journey of discovery began long ago. Today, they've transformed their shared passion into opportunities for artists, meanwhile fulfilling their own desire to create new experiences for art enthusiasts and themselves.
The gallery is located at Westeinde 22 in The Hague, a place with a rich artistic history. N_W (pronounced "new") continues this tradition by exploring the diverse contributions that various artists and art forms can bring. From exhibitions in the gallery to collaborations and events at different locations that connect art enthusiasts, N_W aims to foster interaction within the art community, uniting and promoting both emerging and established artists.

Spontaneous Näky

N_W Art Gallery proudly presents "Spontaneous Näky", a dynamic duo exhibition featuring Daniel Palillo and Atelier Earthling. This unique showcase brings together two artists who embrace spontaneity in their creative process, resulting in bold, unfiltered, and thought-provoking works. The title "Spontaneous Näky" reflects this intuitive approach—where "näky," the Finnish word for "vision" or "apparition," captures the unpredictable and visionary nature of their creations. Daniel Palillo is a multidisciplinary artist and designer. If there is a theme that runs through Palillo’s work, it is constant freedom of expression, whether in the choice of material, issue, or aesthetic. He gained global recognition as an avant-garde fashion designer through his eponymous fashion line from 2006 to 2015. His eccentric designs have gained a cult-like following, especially in Asia. Palillo’s creations have been worn by celebrities such as Lady Gaga, Wiz Khalifa, Hercules & Love Affair, and numerous K-pop superstars like 2NE1 and G-Dragon. His works have been exhibited at various venues, including the Museum of Contemporary Art (Chengdu), K11 (Guangzhou), Powerlong Museum (Shanghai), Design Museum (Helsinki), Times Art Museum (Beijing), Artron Art Museum (Shenzhen), and the Hydra School Projects (Hydra). Palillo introduces a new series of abstract paintings inspired by his surroundings in The Hague. His instinctive approach allows each piece to unfold naturally, guided by an overarching theme but free from rigid planning. Atelier Earthling draws inspiration from nature—mushrooms, coral, and even fungi. What makes her work unique is how she lets the movement of clay guide her, shaping organic forms that emerge in her wall sculptures, vases, necklaces, candleholders, and more. "I want to give nature a place in harmony, but sometimes also in contrast with human-made environments," she explains. As a multidisciplinary artist and founder of @atelier_earthling, she explores themes deeply connected to her life, including sexuality as a queer woman, the power of the female body, and the pursuit of mental well-being. "I offer a glimpse into my experiences in the world and hope to connect with fellow earthlings who share similar stories, helping to normalize these topics." Join us for an evening of artistic exploration, where spontaneity and vision collide!
