As the Hudson Valley has celebrated the 400th anniversary of its discovery by Henry Hudson in a Dutch expedition, art exhibitions focusing on contemporary Dutch culture have been especially rich. “Fendry Ekel — The Witness,” a show of a dozen works in its final week at the Hudson Valley Center for Contemporary Art, is among them.

Born in Jakarta, Indonesia, in 1971, Mr. Ekel, who has never exhibited before in this country, lives in Amsterdam, where he belongs to an artists’ collective that includes the sculptor Folkert de Jong. Mr. Ekel is primarily a painter, producing colorful works on paper that mix media and techniques, including gouache, acrylic painting and drawing.

Each of the paintings being shown here is well crafted and attractively presented in the mezzanine gallery. While there is nothing especially innovative about the style — a loose expressionistic realism — the content gives you pause for thought, and the economical use of symbolic imagery gives the pictures raw visual force.
