about Rinus Van de Velde
Everyone is familiar with the monumental charcoal drawings by Rinus Van de Velde. However, this artist has much more to offer than just drawing – he also makes film, sculpture, small drawings in coloured pencil, works in oil pastel, installations and ceramic ashtrays. As an introduction to his broad artistic work, we have brief look at the last years of his practice. Rinus Van de Velde started out as an obsessive draftsman and made – rather small – drawings with Siberian chalk on paper. These were based on an archive of photographic images from an endless collection of old National Geographic magazines. Van de Velde took these drawings from their original context and combined them with fragments of self-written text. Each of these drawings was a separate element in an ever-growing narrative.
more...about Mark Manders
Since 1986, Mark Manders has developed an on-going project, consisting of sculptures, installations and architectural plans, which he describes as a “Self-Portrait as a Building”. As the title suggests, his artistic practice seems an attempt to translate individual identity, such as personal emotions and ideas, into sculptural spaces through objects and text. Manders makes use of found objects, including brick walls, tables, chairs and raw wood, which often reoccur often throughout his oeuvre.
more...about Kati Heck
Kati Heck is to be considered an heiress to German Expressionism. One is reminded of the bars, dancers and actors of Otto Dix and George Grosz, at the same time as the Old Masters. Heck synthesizes and fuses styles. She is as much an abstractionist as a realist. Parts of her paintings are meticulously rendered on her stitched canvases, with a unique virtuosity and acute attention to detail, while others look streaked, smeared and sculpted as in ‘O Romain’. You can find reflections of Robert Rauschenberg, the way she combines non-traditional materials and everyday objects in innovative combinations. She challenges the medium of paint on a completely new level, as a gesture toward unabashed self-assertion and its radical effects. As the artist states, “I always opt to use more paint, it helps me move away from realism and towards total freedom.”
more...about Carlotta Bailly-Borg
Carlotta Bailly-Borg creates a visual universe that shifts between the fantastical and the everyday. Her practice spans painting, ceramics, fresco and drawing, and is filled with hybrid figures whose bodies bend, stretch and merge. These figures suggest desire, transformation and the fluidity of identity. They feel rooted in the present while also recalling the stylised imagery of medieval manuscripts, mythological scenes and early ornament.
more...about Shirley Villavicencio Pizango
Shirley Villavicencio Pizango paints with fast, spontaneous lines and bright, warm colours. Her works seem to balance the border between drawing and painting. There are two recurring themes in Villavicencio Pizango’s work: portraits and still lifes.
more...about Aline Bouvy
Aline Bouvy’s multidisciplinary practice is a way of expressing her refusal to compromise and adapt to systems in our society which aim to regulate our longing, conforming it to the norms and values which shape that same society. Bouvy questions and denounces how the images we have of ourselves and of humanity are determined by this morality.
more...about Anne-Mie Van Kerckhoven
Since the early eighties, Anne-Mie Van Kerckhoven has produced an extensive oeuvre of drawings and other works on paper, as well as short videos. A straightforward feminist tone pervades in all her works, in which the erotic meets machine-fetishism. Interior, if not domestic spaces often serve as settings for her drawings and collages, from which dream-like futuristic enactments between human and machine-like forms unfold. In the nineties, handmade paper works gave way to computer graphics, while text has always featured alongside images, underlining the message of Van Kerckhoven’s proud, sometimes exhibitionist female figures like song-lyrics.
more...about Kasper Bosmans
Kasper Bosmans dives deeply into the rich cultural history of materials, objects, traditions and customs. The references in his work betray a broad spectrum of sources, from folkloristic stories and cultural practices to historic research on painterly techniques or botanical cross-breeding. He continuously expands on his interests, subjecting them to careful scrutiny.
more...about Sanam Khatibi
The work of the Iranian-Belgian artist Sanam Khatibi explores power structures and primary impulses, which sit on the divide between human and animal. In her paintings, embroidery, tapestries and ceramic sculptures, she questions our relation to excess, loss of control, dominance, submission, and the male-female dynamic.
more...about Philip Aguirre y Otegui
Philip Aguirre y Otegui’s work is strongly engaged and humanistic. Aguirre’s sculptures are mostly made from traditional materials such as bronze, terracotta, wood, clay and plaster. They consistently reflect a profound sense of human tragedy, with Aguirre drawing frequent inspiration from political events, and above all from conflicts linked to migration and the human being as refugee.
more...about Laure Prouvost
Laure Prouvost’s work often engages with language through installation and film, creating an unexpected and often humorous detachment between image, language, and the perceived meaning. Her juxtaposition of images and texts prompt an exploration of the imagination and the surreal that immerses the viewer in a playful questioning of experience and meaning.
more...about Laurie Charles
Laurie Charles is a visual and textual storyteller, she writes and paints speculative narratives on large canvases. Her artistic practice is multi-faceted, and has always been collaborative, responsive, socially engaged and choreographically conscious. She demonstrates a holistic approach to her work, consolidating and collapsing multiple fields to allow her to engage with a variety of ideas, disciplines, publics, and techniques across her productions.
more...about Ben Sledsens
In his paintings, Ben Sledsens transforms daily life, literary characters, animal portraits and elements of (art)history into his own private utopia. His works often hide subtle links to each other and compositions recur also between paintings and drawings, which only amplifies the works’ underlying ambiguous significance while he creates a bigger fictitious world together.
more...about Valérie Mannaerts
Valérie Mannaerts extends the idea of a collage to paintings and spatial objects. She doesn’t just present different images together but also combines ideas and objects – using different materials, such as bronze, ceramics, paint, paper-mâché, and textiles.
more...about Sharon Van Overmeiren
The work of Sharon Van Overmeiren reflects on the images with which we surround ourselves. She thinks about how a specific image or a complete visual language is created, how the forms become bearers of meaning, and how this meaning changes – through time or through different cultures.
more...about Dirk Zoete
The artistic practice of Dirk Zoete is circular. He makes models, photographs, drawings, sculptures and installations, all resulting from and influencing each other. A model set sometimes becomes a drawing, which might result in a large sculpture, which in its turn can function as an element in a larger installation or a prop in a new photographic series.
more...about Charline Tyberghein
Charline Tyberghein’s paintings are composed of abstract geometric patterns, optical illusions and small symbols. Her work balances comedy and tragedy. The beautiful colours, playful shapes, and optical illusions give a cheerful impression. However, these find a counterbalance in the sometimes dark undertones of the symbols she paints, such as a noose, or a weeping candle.
