Where it began a family business in 1986, under the leadership of scion Alex Dani\u00ebls, it has since grown into a gallery that blurs the line between Amsterdam and the world, with exhibitions by such luminaries as Nobuyoshi Araki and David LaChapelle.<\/h2>\n<p>.<br \/>\nLocated across from the Rijksmuseum, on Lijnbaansgracht, the gallery provides a stage for both established and emerging artists. In recent years, with exhibitions of internationally acclaimed artists such as Miles Aldridge, Spencer Tunick, Roger Ballen, Todd Hido, Iris Schomaker, Helen Beard, Harland Miller and Michael Craig-Martin, Reflex has shown itself to be clearly positioned at the heart of the international contemporary art scene.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-74562\" title=\"alex-daniels-reflex\" src=\"https:\/\/www.amsterdamnow.com\/app\/uploads\/alex-daniels-reflex.jpg\" alt=\"alex-daniels-reflex\" width=\"800\" height=\"946\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.amsterdamnow.com\/app\/uploads\/alex-daniels-reflex.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.amsterdamnow.com\/app\/uploads\/alex-daniels-reflex-359x425.jpg 359w, https:\/\/www.amsterdamnow.com\/app\/uploads\/alex-daniels-reflex-768x908.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.amsterdamnow.com\/app\/uploads\/alex-daniels-reflex-10x12.jpg 10w, https:\/\/www.amsterdamnow.com\/app\/uploads\/alex-daniels-reflex-338x400.jpg 338w, https:\/\/www.amsterdamnow.com\/app\/uploads\/alex-daniels-reflex-423x500.jpg 423w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>What typifies Reflex is not only its artistic quality, but also its role as publisher and producer of art books, prints and special editions - often in collaboration with influential cultural voices. These publications support the gallery policy that not only shows, but also makes tangible. This gives Reflex a permanent position in the collective memory of Amsterdam and international collectors.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\"Reflex Amsterdam proves how a gallery can bridge local culture and global art movements without sacrificing its own identity.\"<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This international appeal, combined with their strong local roots, means that Reflex remains a key player in strengthening Amsterdam as a perennial art destination. The gallery sees its task as introducing innovative art, stimulating social discussions and providing a platform for dialogue, in a city that is itself constantly changing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\n    <div class='LeesOokSection'>\n    <p class='introleesook'>READ ALSO<\/p>\n    <hr class='locline2'> \n    <a href='https:\/\/www.amsterdamnow.com\/en\/nieuws\/abonneer-je-op-amsterdam-magazine\/'>\n    <div class='LeesOokBox'>\n     <div class='locatiebox'>\n     <div class='leftLeesOok'>\n          <img class='imgbox' src='https:\/\/www.amsterdamnow.com\/app\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Papeneiland.jpg' alt='Akrt' \/>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class='RechtsLeesOok leesook'>\n     <p style='margin-top: -2px; color:red; letter-spacing: 0.5px; font-weight: 400 !important; font-size: 13px;' class='categorietitel-sug'><\/p>\n     <h3 style='text-align:left; font-size: 1.3em'  class='relatedh3'>Subscribe to Amsterdam Magazine and receive 4 editions!<\/h3>\n     <span class='WijkTekst LeesOokTekst'>English-language Amsterdam Magazine is all about fun things to do, discovering new places and the city's tastemakers.
