Galerie Greta Meert is delighted to present the historical exhibition titled Bands, Curves and Brushstrokes by American artist Sol LeWitt (1928, Hartford, Connecticut - 2007, New York). Between 1996 and 2002, Sol LeWitt created a striking group of works on paper - Parallel Curves, Tangled Bands, Irregular Curves and Not Straight Brushstrokes. They mark a shift within his practice: away from the reductive logic of Minimalism and Conceptualism toward something more tactile, sensual and immediate. Long associated with systems, modules, and instructions, here LeWitt embraces irregularity, gesture, and colour.

Galerie Greta Meert is honoured to present Liam Everett’s recent body of work in He Loved Him Madly. This exhibition continues Everett’s long-standing exploration of painting as an accumulative, experimental practice — one that thrives on instability, transience, and the residue of gesture. What emerges on the surface of his canvases is not a static image, but the layered memory of action: an imprint of movements, erasures, and resistances enacted over time. The title He Loved Him Madly is borrowed from Miles Davis’s 1974 composition, a sprawling, mournful elegy to Duke Ellington. Davis’s piece resists conventional structure: it drifts through repetition, silence, and improvisation, unfolding slowly rather than reaching resolution. The resonance with Liam Everett’s work is immediate. Like Davis, Everett cultivates an art of deferral and transience, where presence is inseparable from erasure, and where meaning emerges gradually, in time. The title therefore acts as both echo and homage: a phrase that expands beyond its musical origin to frame Everett’s own devotion to painting as a fugitive, unstable, and yet profoundly vital practice...
