The Creative Lab Art Gallery

This winter, The Creative Lab transforms the Passage into a pop-up gallery, giving three artists their own panel to showcase new work.Each artist brings a distinct perspective – from vivid, narrative painting to intimate reflections on movement, emotion and connection. Together, they invite visitors to pause, reflect and experience art as part of everyday life.

Anne-Mei Blom

Freedom, connection and the human experience
The work of Amsterdam-based artist Anne-Mei Blom (2000) explores human connection and the freedom of movement. Drawing on her Dutch-Vietnamese heritage and background in migration and refugee law, she reflects on what it means to move freely – within ourselves and across the world we share.
Blom invites you into a dreamlike world of connection and openness, expressing our longing to remain unbound yet deeply connected.
