“The more I reflect on her work, the more it appears to me as

a peculiar form of Land Art”, is how arthistorian Ory Dessau

describes the art practice of Marie Cloquet. The artist put

together an extensive archive of photographs and uses it time

and again to create her monumental landscapes on canvas.

She considers the images, both digital and analog, as sketches

and sees similarities between her process and that of classical

painters. Close to the way in which, for example, the Fle...

Artist Tim Onderbeke considers the publication Cast Shadow not as a collection of works, but as a work in itself. The book shows a selection of images from the artist’s archive, transformed into rasterized black-and-white photos with use of Digital Image Processing (re-photographing, printing, scanning). By playing with the porosity of the grid, the images generate a pictorial quality that may remind one of Warhol’s obscure screenprints. The mechanical printing-process is applied as a met...

De kunst van Jacqueline Mesmaeker is ongrijpbaar, zoals zand dat tussen de vingers glijdt. Het nestelt zich in onze geest

en laat ons niet los. Nochtans bleef zij het grootste deel van haar carrière werken in de schaduw van vele mannelijke collega-kunstenaars. Over een tijdspanne van 50 jaar real- iseerde Mesmaeker een ongezien oeuvre dat zich inschrijft binnen de recente Belgische kunstgeschiedenis als revelerend.

CC Strombeek, BOZAR en het Roger Raveel Museum brachten in 2020 telkens een ...

Since the mid-nineties, Johan De Wilde (°1964, BE) has been

making pencil drawings that can be considered as the work of

a ‘human printer’, like man created computers in his mind.

The artworks are meticulous built as paintings, layer after layer

of horizontal and vertical lines, with a suggestion of shapes or

numbers interwoven. De Wilde draws the canvas he paints on

and mostly uses the same formats: A6, A4, A2, because he wants

the drawings to be as universal as possible and thes...

In his new body of work Stories, I–XX the artist elaborates on his displacement of painting into other realms to engage us in a rhythmical reflection on color. As we move from one Story to the next, the idiosyncratic nature of these cutout plywood pieces comes to confront their seriality — form and logic sporadically emerge and disappear. During the 1980s, Richard Tuttle began experimenting with materials and framing devices to probe art’s relationship to scale, form and systems of disp...

We are not talking about the Sex Pistols presenteert een reeks van 97 composities met bloemen van Werner Mannears (°1954,

België). Mannaers omsluit in zijn gouaches meerdere kunsthistorische referenties, die hij linkt aan filosofische quotes en elementen uit de popultuur. Door middel van deze ‘sampling’ techniek, creëert de kunstenaar een multidimensionale context die hem is staat stelt om de vaak existentiële thematiek te temperen met ironie en humor.

Vele jaren geleden begon Manna...
