Some words about the collection
 
The gallery exhibits and sells paintings, silkscreens and sculptures to companies, Dutch government and to private collectors. The collection of the gallery contains a wide variety of styles, from realism/fine arts to abstract expressionism and conceptual art. And also the stock of the gallery contains works of art in different materials and techniques. This variety seems to be strange perhaps, but gallery owners Gaby and Sander Kletter have not in the first place a particular preference for any of the contemporary and Post modern styles in art. They just love all forms of art. What truely matters to them is the quality of an artwork and the energy and vision put into it by an artist. Its the wish since the start of the gallery in 1995 to exhibit artworks which contain high quality, in fact which contain true 'beeldkracht'. 

In 2008 gallery owner Sander Kletter explained the name of the gallery in a letter to Michael Parkes as follows:
"The name of our gallery is 'Beeldkracht', which means translated 'Imagepower' (image=beeld and power=kracht). We have chosen this name, because this reflects our wish to show only images with great 'power'. In this context images are: paintings, mixed media artworks, sculptures, lithographs, prints, etchings, photographs etc. Power could mean in this context 'with great professional skill', 'made with an original concept', 'made with high intensity', 'made with vision and integrity', 'made with true passion for the art', etc."

So all the artworks in the collection are made by professional - both wellknown and upcoming - artists. It doesnt matter, where the artist is born, where he comes from, what matters is the quality of his artwork. Which means that nowadays the artists in our collection come from countries all over the world. The gallery shows on permanent basis their paintings on canvas, mixed media art, prints (like: etchings, lithographs and silkscreens), sculptures made of wood, glass and bronze, ceramics and other artworks.
