The first exhibition in the Kleine Gallery consisted of work by Fons Venner (1988), independent product designer, maker and goldsmith. For the latter, Venner attended the vocational school
in Schoonhoven, where he soon felt the need to make things that were larger than the average piece of jewelry. That is why he continued his education at the art academy of Utrecht. Venner
now works in his studio in Utrecht art installations and impressive interior pieces, experimenting with a variety of materials, such as wood, steel and plastic. His work is both precise and abstract, and as harmonious as it is striking.
