Europe's highest gallery opened its doors on 29
January 2010: the "Galerie Maste 4" in Saas-Fee. Encircled by
lordly 4000m peaks an unique location is awaiting
you.
The "Galerie Maste 4" represents the fulfilment of a dream
for the Dutch artist Marjolein Bos, who is living and working in
Saas-Fee. Thanks to her drive and inventiveness she has turned the
old building below the Morenia mid-way station into an attractive
meeting place. Various paintings and sculptures are in full view on
the first floor of the former restaurant, just waiting for the
opinions of potential visitors.
The aim is to rotate the exhibition 5-6 times each year with
works, sculptures and paintings by international artists.
Furthermore you will have the opportunity to look directly over the
shoulders of guest artists for a specific period.
With the "Galerie Maste 4" Marjolein Bos offers visitors an
attractive and special excursion destination all year round
(coinciding with the timetable of the mountain railways). In the
Winter she also aims in particular to attract non-skiers with this
offering. A trip to the gallery can however also be utilised as a
bad weather alternative.
Marjolein Bos - the artist
Growing up in Laren NH (the Netherlands) Marjolein Bos studied at
the Academy of Art in Tilburg,
where she attended numerous courses as part of her further
training. For some 25 years Bos has
been working on a freelance basis as an illustrator/graphic
designer, portrait artist and painter. In the Netherlands, Germany
and Switzerland she has also realised a number of major projects
such as e.g. wall painting in the theatre at Münster(D), in the
RaboBank and headquarters of the SNS Bank (NL)
as well as painting in a chapel in Saas-Fee.
