As Texel is a veritable paradise for artists, there are a considerable number of art galleries on the island. However, besides Texel art, works by non-Texel artists can be admired and bought. A visit to a gallery and perhaps the purchase of a work of art will add more depth to your stay here.
All sorts of art are on view in the galleries of Texel; you can see paintings, drawings and sculptures. Most visitors will notice that nature plays a central part in many of the works by these artists. Below is a list of the famous galleries on Texel.
Art gallery Galerie Posthuys Texel in the seaside resort of De Koog introduces visitors to artists who base their work on natural elements. Some artists express it tangibly, with the rhythm, colour and "skin" derived from nature. The exacting selection of artists ensures an exciting collection.
De Eiland Galerij, a creation by artist Niek Welboren, is situated in Zuid Eierland. He and his wife Kerstin Edelmann, also an artist, expose his work here. The gallery contains paintings on paper and linen and sculptures and objects made of clay.
Artist and designer Angelina van der Vliet was born and raised on Texel. Her (painting) art is particularly appreciated for the beautiful colors and the calm, yet exciting appearance. In her gallery workshop shop she exhibits and sells her works. In addition to paintings and photos of Texel, you can also find real unique hand-painted Texel souvenirs and gifts here.
ZOUT is an active artists' association on Texel. The members make art with a touch of ZeeZOUT (Sea salt).
