Dutch contemporary artist Bobbi Essers and Brussels-based artist Robin Wen star in a two-person exhibition at MuseumMore in Gorssel. The curatorial premise sets two visions of a generation’s nightlife side by side: Essers in oil on canvas, working from analogue photographs of her friends; Wen in hyperrealistic blue ballpoint pen drawings rooted in Free Party and rave culture, where his subjects appear in empty party sites at dawn or as faceless dancing figures.

The museum frames Essers’ contribution around queer positivity, deliberately ambiguous gender and identity, and the rituals of friendship and the after-hours. Works in the show include In a New York state of mind (2025), Love ridden (I’ve looked at you) (2025), and Nothing makes me feel as good (2025).

MuseumMore had previously included Essers in the group shows Licked by the waves (2024) and Reality check (2025). Wen graduated from La Cambre in Brussels in 2018 and won the Woluwe-Saint-Pierre Arts Prize; this is his first appearance in a Dutch museum.
