De Brock - Keith Coventry Gastro - Constructivism


Keith Coventry
Gastro Constructivism

02 August — 07 September, 2025
Zeedijk 758, Knokke

De Brock is pleased to present its third solo exhibition with Keith Coventry, opening on August 2nd.
There is a beauty to Suprematism and its vision to fashion an understanding of a new multi-dimensional, non-Newtonian, world of purity without objects, a non-objective world in flux. This is a world without commodities and philosophy whose attachment to the shape-shifting fourth dimension could never have imagined any association with the birth of globalist deregulationary neo-liberalism. This, however, is just the sort of connection that Keith Coventry – the history painter of the late 20th and early 21st century – brings to bear. If his Junk Paintings harnessed fragments of the Golden Arches of McDonald’s to Suprematism to reveal the tarnished implications of its pure vision, his Gastro-Constructivism deploys its poor relation Burger King to similar ends.
The spark for Coventry’s subjects is found, more often than not, as a part of his daily life – for instance, the particular milieu he inhabits or his leisured walking around a city – and with his current paintings a visit to a Burger King in his hometown Burnley, when its degraded screen-printed schematic renderings of a burger on the walls, sparked his imagination. The constituent parts of a burger were just printed blocks of colour on the wall, each denoting ingredients: bun, cheese, beef, ham, lettuce, onion, gherkin, chicken, meat substitute, fish, relish, sauce, mustard, pickle … the list is endless, a list defining the plenitude of consumerist desire and demands. The blocks of colour in Coventry’s painting define not just the ingredient but also challenge the pathetic belief in control of destiny – that the demand to ‘supersize me’ or ‘hold the mayo’, or any other instruction levelled at the server to construct your perfect burger, is a form of empowerment on behalf of the individual (can belief in one’s own destiny really be realised through placing an order at a fast-food bar?) or is it just an indication of an engaged, relational, individualist enslavement to fast food, globalised, brand power.
Unlike the cheaply printed imagery on the walls of the Burnley Burger King, each of Coventry’s paintings – the colour, touch, facture, impasto and gestured mark making that they reveal – express an aesthetic sensibility and individualist beauty that fruitfully reconstitutes or rearranges Malevich’s geometries. We never see an image of a complete burger with Coventry’s paintings, just a half. He has transformed the disintegrating Burger King imagery, he had at first encountered, into a play of fragments, elements, and traces that are in many ways not unlike a transactional relic, the significance of which is accelerated by its untouchability, framed, and venerated behind glass.
The opening reception will be held in presence of the artist on Saturday 2 August from 5 till 8 pm, please email us for more information.

MARUANI MERCIER, Master of Surrealism, Group Show

August 2 – September 7, 2025
Zeedijk-Het Zoute 759, 8300 Knokke & Kustlaan 90, 8300 Knokke
Public Opening: August 9, 2025 from 11 am – 7 pm
 
This summer, MARUANI MERCIER’s annual homage to the icons of modern art turns its lens to Surrealism, not as a single vision, but as a shifting terrain shaped by artists like Salvador Dalí, Paul Delvaux, Max Ernst, René Magritte, Man Ray, Joan Miró, Francis Picabia and Yves Tanguy, each of whom made the movement unmistakably their own. Far from a fixed style, Surrealism emerged as a field of tension between collective ideals and radical individuality. Rooted in dreams, desire, and psychic liberation, and rising from the ashes of Dada, its influence has long outlasted the conditions that gave rise to it. Officially inaugurated with André Breton’s 'Manifesto of Surrealism' in 1924, the movement sought to free thought from the shackles of reason and morality. Inspired by Freud and Marx, its adherents, poets, philosophers, and painters, ventured into the irrational, the erotic, and the fantastic. Together, these visual artists forged a shared language of dreamscapes, unconscious impulses, and uncanny juxtapositions, each in radically individual terms.

A & R Fleury, Temporalité du Geste

 
Temporalité du geste

June 21st - July 25th 2025

Pablo Atchugarry, Olivier Debré, Jorge Eielson, Lucio Fontana, Simon Hantaï, Mao Lizi, Pierre Soulages, Claude Viallat

Temporalité du geste (Temporality of gesture) gathers major abstract artists around the same question: what remains of the artist’s gesture, form and creative breath once time has passed? Folding, twisting, stamping, superimposing, perforating… so many actions that reveal a singular approach to painting, conceived here as a sensitive archive of time. This visual dialogue brings together works that represent the culmination of plastic research initiated from the 1960s to the 1980s.
These works of art are reflections of life, in which each testimony speaks of time acting, erasing and revealing. They remind us that abstraction is not completely detached from the world, but is a deep mirror in which existence is exposed by the artist’s intuition, making it tangible.

Samuel Vanhoegaerden Gallery - Histoire d'Une Amitié - Papiers -


DE GESCHIEDENIS VAN EEN VRIENDSCHAP/L’HISTOIRE D’UNE AMITIÉ

Pierre Alechinsky & Christian Dotremont
From August 2 until September 19, 2025 

“Pierre Alechinsky & Christian Dotremont: de geschiedenis van een vriendschap”

De zomertentoonstelling in de galerij van Samuel Vanhoegaerden zet de unieke relatie tussen PierreAlechinsky (°1927) en Christian Dotremont (1922–1979) in de schijnwerpers. De expositie belicht niet alleenhet veelzijdige oeuvre van Alechinsky, maar ook de artistieke synergie en vriendschap die hij deelde met Dotremont, medeoprichter van de COBRA-beweging.
Papier speelt een centrale rol in het werk van Alechinsky. Zijn tekeningen, gravures, lithografieën en schilderijen zijn diep doordrongen van respect voor het materiaal. Elk vel papier – van Japans rijstpapier tot historische documenten – fungeert als een betekenisvolle drager van expressie. Zijn affiniteit met oosterse kalligrafie, verdiept tijdens een reis naar Japan in 1955, is zichtbaar in zijn vloeiende lijnvoering en de bewuste omgang met witruimte.
De vriendschap tussen Piette Alechinsky en Christian Dotremont begon in 1949 tijdens de eerste COBRA-tentoonstelling in Brussel. Beiden waren jonge kunstenaars, verbonden door hun drang naar experiment en samenwerking. Samen creëerden ze schilderij-gedichten, waarin beeld en taal samensmolten.
Dotremonts logogrammen, waarin poëzie wordt geschilderd, vormden een unieke kruisbestuiving van schrift en beeld –iets wat Alechinsky enorm waardeerde.
Na een tijdelijke breuk in de jaren ’60 vonden de twee elkaar terug, werkten opnieuw “met vier handen” en hervatten hun artistieke dialoog. Alechinsky bleef Dotremonts werk steunen en verzamelen, tot aan diens dood in 1979 – en ook lang daarna, met tentoonstellingen zoals die in het Centre Pompidou.
“Pierre Alechinsky & Christian Dotremont: de geschiedenis van een vriendschap” toont niet enkel kunstwerken op papier, maar ook een intieme geschiedenis van vriendschap, wederzijdse inspiratie en het blijvende belang van de handgetekende lijn in een digitale wereld.
Deze tentoonstelling gaat gepaard met een publicatie onder dezelfde titel: Alechinsky Papiers.

Ingert - Charles-Élie Delprat | Quelques endroits de la terre et du ciel

Charles-Élie Delprat | Quelques endroits de la terre et du ciel / Solo show, 20 June - 1 August 2025
Charles-Élie Delprat (born in 1987) is a travelling painter, and precisely a walking painter. He represents landscapes but also crosses them, roams them, lets them mold him. His landscapes, or rather his views, are pictures chosen by a gaze which, at a certain point, stops, held back by a light, attracted by a perspective. This gaze, whose presence and quest are immediately felt, has retained something of its initial training: the work of an architect who studies buildings and spaces, sketching them tirelessly to assimilate the laws of constructions and perspective. A meteorological dimension can also be seen: a meticulous attention paid to the quality of the light, to the sky and shadow tint, to the degree of dryness or humidity in the air. This apprehension of the world is the one of someone who confesses ‘a small guilty passion for clouds’, for a certain daydream, something more flowing and ethereal. The artist has a rigorous technique, using traditional mediums, as close as possible to craft, in order to understand and explore all the combinations and possibilities. This explains a particular attention paid to the choice of the paper and to the preparation of the backgrounds, which have become essential in his work. Charles-Élie Delprat talks about an ‘exploratory dimension’. Therefore, each work of art tends to become a spiritual exercise of the gaze, the emergence of a deep connection with a place. This often takes the form of a process of images transformation which, as they are reworked or remembered, change, intersect and come together to form a landscape with the intense reality of a memory, without being, strictly speaking, real. Uninhabited, this world may be seen without projecting any other affect than one’s in order to ‘confront it on site, without preexisting value judgment, and simply represent them as a component of the contemporary world’.

Stern Pissarro Gallery - Carlos Nadal, Joie de Vivre

Stern Pissarro Gallery is pleased to announce Carlos Nadal: Joie de Vivre, an exuberant exhibition celebrating the vision of the French-born Spanish painter Carlos Nadal (1917-1998).
Private View: 19 June, 6-8pm - To mark the occasion, Alessandro Nadal, the artist’s son, will give a talk at the opening, offering insight into his father’s life.
Running from 19 June to 26 July, the show gathers thirty works - many never before seen - drawn from an important private collection alongside pieces previously exhibited internationally. Born in Montmartre to Spanish parents, Nadal grew up under the easy camaraderie of the Parisian avant-garde. Frequent visitors to his father’s studio included Braque, Léger, Dufy, Picasso and Utrillo, whose encouragement shaped his earliest paintings. After serving in the Spanish Civil War, Nadal returned to Barcelona, remaining in close contact with Picasso, who continued to mentor the younger artist throughout his career. An eminent critic coined Nadal 'the last of the Fauves' in 1996, a testament to his direct lineage from that radical circle of early-20th-century Expressionists. His work—whether riotous interiors, sun-drenched landscapes or animated coastal scenes—radiates a naïve-expressionist immediacy. Viewers will recognise affectionate nods to Matisse, Léger or Picasso tucked inside his lively salons, yet Nadal’s inimitable palette and sweeping lines deliver pure, unfiltered joy.

Read the press release for more information or view the e-catalogue here. The online catalogue showcases all thirty works from the exhibition, drawn from a significant private collection alongside pieces previously displayed internationally.

Axel Vervoordt, Shi Zhiying, All Things in Kinship - Curated by Dr. Shen Qilan

Terrace Gallery, Kanaal, June 14 - September 6, 2025
Opening in presence of the artist on Saturday, June 14 from 11 a.m. until 6 p.m. Axel Vervoordt Gallery is pleased to present the first solo exhibition in Europe by Chinese artist Shi Zhiying (b. 1979, Shanghai) titled, All Things Kinship. Shi Zhiying’s seascapes and intricate depictions of rocks and gemstones convey the philosophical tension between emergence and concealment. Drawing inspiration from both Eastern and Western art tradition, she adeptly captures the life-movement of the spirit through the rhythm of things and the inner logic of breath emphasised in Chinese painting, utilizing colour, texture, and brushstrokes. In the recent years, she has focussed on colour experimentation to explore concepts of ephemerality and permanence through the interplay of abstraction and figuration.

Helene Bailly Gallery - Montparnasse & L'Ecole de Paris, histoires d'ateliers

Du 13 juin au 06 septembre 2025, la galerie HELENE BAILLY présente un dialogue artistique entre plusieurs générations, en rendant hommage à Paris, capitale des arts, et à ses ateliers emblématiques, du Montparnasse historique à la scène contemporaine actuelle. Sous le commissariat d’Armand Camphuis, cette exposition s’intéresse à ces lieux iconiques de l’histoire de l’art moderne et contemporain. L’exposition met en lumière les grandes figures de l’École de Paris qui ont fait de Montparnasse un véritable foyer de la modernité artistique au XXème siècle.

La Ruche, la Grande Chaumière, la Cité Falguière… autant de lieux de vie et d’ébullition où naissent les chefs-d’œuvre de Kisling, Léger, Modigliani, et bien d’autres. Ces artistes venus du monde entier ont partagé ateliers, idées et amitiés, dans un élan créatif sans précédent.
En dialogue avec ces icônes de la modernité, la galerie invite quatre artistes contemporaines de POUSH à investir l’espace de la galerie. Valentina Canseco, Juliette Minchin, Lisa Ouakil et Dune Varela incarnent cette nouvelle génération inspirée et audacieuse.
De Montparnasse à Aubervilliers, de l’École de Paris aux expériences contemporaines, cette exposition met en lumière l’importance des ateliers d’artistes pour les avant-gardes parisiennes d’hier et d’aujourd’hui.
La galerie HELENE BAILLY est heureuse de présenter ce dialogue entre deux générations, de souligner les ruptures et les intuitions communes qui jalonnent un siècle de création. De 1900 à 2025, l’histoire de l’art s’écrit toujours dans les ateliers parisiens.

Galerie Hadjer, From Metal to Wool: Calder’s Tapestries Rise Again

Galerie Hadjer sets Calder’s Tapestries in the spotlight
Alexander Calder, a pioneer of modern art, is gaining renewed recognition for his vibrant textile works. Long overshadowed by his mobiles, his tapestries -created with the Aubusson workshops - are now featured in top museums and international art fairs. At the Norton Museum of Art, Calder’s Art Car was recently shown beneath a monumental tapestry, highlighting his cohesive vision across mediums. The Bechtler Museum of Modern Art also showcases key pieces, affirming the importance of Calder’s textile legacy. Galerie Hadjer, a longtime advocate of Calder’s tapestries, continues to promote their artistic significance at global fairs like Art Basel, TEFAF and BRAFA-Brussels, revealing the bold, graphic beauty of his woven masterpieces.

DIE GALERIE is delighted to show Pierre Alechinsky and his artist friends

Pierre Alechinsky and his artist friends: Pierre Alechinsky, Karel Appel, Corneille, Constant, Jacques Doucet, Karl Otto Götz, Lucebert, Reinhoud, Christian Dotremont, Theo Wolvekamp
DIE GALERIE, Frankfurt am Main
5. Juni – 10. September 2025 ∙ June 5 – September 10, 2025
Vernissage ∙ Opening: 5. Juni 2025 ∙ June 5, 2025
On 6 June 2025, DIE GALERIE will ring in the summer with an exhibition that is diverse, colourful, spontaneous and a little loud. This is how CoBrA, the mid-20th century artists' group, was - young, wild, immediate and impulsive. Although the group quickly disbanded and its members went on to important international careers, CoBrA's ideas were enduring and groundbreaking. Many of the artists remained friends and collaborators for decades. 
 
Pierre Alechinsky, Vin versé, 1957, Oil on canvas, 80 x 126 cm, Signed, entitled and inscribed verso

Based on personal friendships and connections, DIE GALERIE has long been committed to the artists of the CoBrA group. To this day, there is a particularly strong bond between gallery owner Peter Femfert and Pierre Alechinsky, one of the most influential networkers of CoBrA and, at 97 years of age, the last living representative of this group. 
 
Born in Brussels in 1927, he became the youngest member of the CoBrA group in 1949, after studying book illustration and typography in his home town. As a young painter, Pierre Alechinsky embraced CoBrA's ideas of spontaneity and direct expression; after the group disbanded in 1951, he quickly developed his own style, concentrating on drawing and studying Asian calligraphy. He travelled to Japan for the first time in 1955. Since then, his work has oscillated between East Asian art and aesthetics and Western visual understanding... Read more in press release.

Objects With Narratives - Solo Show by KRJST Studio and Middernacht & Alexander

Solo show by KRJST Studio,There is always something left to love 
KRJST Studio, a Belgian artist duo founded in 2012, transitioned from fashion to art and design in 2015 to refocus on creativity and artistic expression. Since then, they have become known for creating large-scale, hand-embroidered tapestries that blend storytelling, emotion, and technical mastery. The pieces, intended for architectural settings and art collectors, are rich in narrative and serve as emotional landscapes woven in color and texture. In 2020, they expanded into collectible design with Simon Tentoon, using their textiles in new ways. The studio formed by Justine de Moriamé and Erika Schillebeeckx functions as a unified force exploring memory, time, and transformation through weaving. Their work fuses classical and modern art influences with advanced technologies, embodying a dialogue between traditional craftsmanship and contemporary experimentation.

Solo show by Middernacht & Alexander, Terra Atlas 
Terra Atlas is a poetic mapping of what lies beneath. Middernacht & Alexander unearth forgotten materials - buried oil tanks, corroded metals, remnants of earth and tar - and lift them into the light. What was once discarded and contaminated is not erased, but transformed: preserved in translucent layers of epoxy, reshaped into functional objects that are also sculptural relics. Each piece carries its own soul. The rawness of the material is never hidden; it speaks. It tells stories of time, neglect, and transformation. The result is not just design, but a dialogue - between past and present, decay and renewal, utility and beauty. In embracing imperfection, the duo reveals a deeper emotional resonance: a reverence for what we usually overlook. Terra Atlas is part of How I Got Over, Middernacht & Alexander’s ongoing body of work that explores themes of memory, material, and soulful sustainability. The exhibition invites viewers into a self-contained universe where design becomes archaeology, and every object becomes a vessel for history and care. This is a quiet resistance against erasure.

Francis Maere Fine Arts - Ooidonk Art Festival 2025 is open

The Ooidonk Art Festival 2025 opened last week, and we’re thrilled with the warm and enthusiastic responses we've received so far. Set against the stunning backdrop of Goed te Réables, right next to the iconic Ooidonk Castle in Bachte-Maria-Leerne, the festival runs from May 17 through August 31 and promises a summer filled with powerful artistic encounters. This fourth edition brings together over 40 contemporary artists, including renowned names such as Wim Delvoye, Jan Fabre, Tony Matelli, and Sofie Muller, alongside a new generation of emerging talent. Their work inhabits the historic interiors and natural surroundings of the 17th-century farmhouse, in a curated dialogue between contemporary art, heritage, and landscape.
Nature in Flux
The artworks at this year’s Ooidonk Art Festival are not static, they evolve throughout the summer, shaped by weather, light, time, and even living organisms. Visitors can expect installations that grow, transform, and surprise. Highlights include a living tree sculpture by Wim Delvoye, a poetic retrospective by Johan De Wit, a growing bee-cathedral by Isidoor Goddeeris, a full-scale scenic installation by Lieven Lefere, and an ever-changing canvas by Ruth Devriendt; alongside over 100 other remarkable works.

2nd location: City Pavilion
This weekend marks the opening of our City Pavilion, a parallel exhibition in the Francis Maere Fine Arts Gallery, open every weekend throughout the summer. Here, the very same artists from the Ooidonk Art Festival present entirely different works in a radically contrasting gallery setting. The City Pavilion offers a more intimate, reflective counterpoint to the outdoor experience at Goed te Réables. Whether you're escaping a rainy day, completing a cultural city stroll, or seeking a deeper connection to the festival, this satellite exhibition is the perfect complement that brings two distinct worlds together under one vision.

Dei Bardi Art, special focus on Burgundian sculpture

This intricately carved stone corbel from the 15th century exemplifies the refined naturalism and detail characteristic of the Burgundian Netherlands during the later Middle Ages. It portrays an angel's bust with delicately feathered wings and flowing hair, holding a triangular heater-shaped shield against his chest. The angel's hair and wings, rendered with skillful precision, showcase the talent of the anonymous sculptor. The angel's face, featuring almond-shaped eyes, full cheeks, a serene small mouth, and framed by a crown of tightly coiled locks that fall gracefully to the neck, reflects Northern European artistic style, softened by a Southern influence. The figure's square jaw, rounded chin, dense curling hair, and circumflex-accent-shaped eyes, with slightly swollen lower eyelids, strongly resemble Burgundian sculpture from the 15th century. 

Corbel with an Angel Holding a Shield, Burgundian Netherlands, 15th century, Limestone, On a modern metal stand
H 21 x W 16.5 x D 18.5 cm
The angel's calm demeanor and the finely detailed curls and feathered wings indicate it was created in the Burgundian Netherlands - a region that included present-day Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, and northern France, governed by the dukes of Burgundy from the late 14th to the late 15th century. During the reigns of Philip the Bold, Philip the Good, and Charles the Bold, the area became a center of artistic innovation and elite support, with sculpture serving as a primary means to convey dynastic pride and religious devotion. Similar sculpted corbels and keystones are present in major institutional collections. Noteworthy examples include the keystone with an angel from the Zelem Charterhouse near Diest now showcased at the V&A and the Angel corbel with the Coat of Arms of Breda displayed at the Rijksmuseum.

Galerie Nathalie Obadia Paris - Johan Van de Moortel

Joris Van de Moortel, Le poids du ciel illumine la terre
May 17 - July 26, 2025 at Paris
Opening Saturday, May 17 - 5pm - 8.30pm
With a performance at 7pm (duration 20mins)
3, rue du Cloître Saint-Merri, Paris 4e
 
Galerie Nathalie Obadia is pleased to present Le poids du ciel illumine la terre, a solo exhibition by the Belgian artist Joris Van de Moortel. Following his major exhibition at the Stedelijk Museum Voor Actuele Kunst (S.M.A.K.) in Ghent which recently closed in March 2025, Van de Moortel unveils new works in a contrasting setting: the space of the Parisian gallery, made of alcoves and arches, that the artist has adorned with stained glass. Transformed by his works, the gallery’s architecture evokes a place of worship: its high ceilings seem to bring heaven and earth together. A profusion of celestial fragments is inflected with profane detail, freely circulating across oil paintings, watercolors, sculptures, mirrors, neon works and a video. Here, light becomes faith: it moves between works, and sometimes flows through them, revealing the singular vision of Joris Van de Moortel - a vision of a world which, although tormented, is adorned with a thousand and one colors.
