During the summer months we curate a changing exhibition in the front room of the gallery. Filip Collin suggested a number of young artists who were invited to submit one or more works to be included in our seasonal show in summer we play. 
Over the coming weeks, artworks will be added and replaced so that there is always something new to see. The gallery is closed until next season, but the works will be visible through the front window 24/7 and as always we are happy to welcome visitors on appointment, and we will be posting on our Instagram page as well as the dedicated page on our website.

 

Alexandra Puşcaş, Yoon Shun and Lucas Campforts are the first three artists whose work will be presented. 

​

Alexandra Puşcaş' art offers a captivating experience in which you can switch between 'the painting' and 'the subject', similar to the difference between poetry and prose. The active involvement of the viewer is encouraged, leaving room for personal interpretation. Her work embodies a constant struggle between materials, in which harmony and disharmony are constantly evolving, resulting in abstract reliefs that evoke life. With a boundless fascination for the expressive potential of colour and material, she transcends physical boundaries to create canvases that approach sculptural forms. Natural materials, reacting layer by layer, help steer the course of the work. These elements merge or are reduced to abstract forms and undergo transformation. Through layering, the narrative aspect blurs and painting becomes a controlled, intuitive act. 

​

Yoon Shun dedicates his efforts to exploring the intricate connection between the functional context and abstract narrative within objects. He seeks the hidden beauty beneath the surface, infusing his creations with meticulous attention to detail, subtlety, and patience. His sculptural process involves balancing rationality and sensibility, fineness and brutalism, allowing him to navigate the creative journey thoughtfully and contemplatively. 

Hold on Tight Before It Falls is the second installment in Yoon Shun's year-long series of twelve wooden sculptures. Shun posits that within each of us resides a bird that embodies our deepest desires. Whenever the bird descends toward the earth, we must seize it and envision the moment it ascends again. This piece is meticulously hand-carved from Platan and is available in three colours: Mahogany, Natural, and Saffron. It is a limited edition of 20 pieces.

​

Lucas Campfort's entire oeuvre is characterised by his fascination with the body. At first glance, his works appear frivolous. At the same time, they are the expression of an unfulfilled longing for identity and body image.

In his paintings we see abstractions and formal associations with phalluses. For Lucas they are symbols of desire, rendered as smooth, perfect phallus symbols or icons. Lucas makes connections between his bodily desires and the ergonomic design of various utensils that look almost as sensual as sex toys. 

The images have a graphic and digital character with their stylised forms, soft colour transitions and strong colour contrasts. Lucas plays with the balance between legible figuration and toning down the explicit nature of his images. This minimalist rendering keeps the viewer at a safe distance. The even areas of colour with a soft finish look as if each fingerprint would leave a trace.
