The title of exhibitions two and two refers to the eponymous bronze sculpture by Max Ernst created in 1956.<\/p>\n
While reflecting the constantly renewed richness and diversity of avenues of research explored over the past 60 years by successive generations of artists following the minimal art trend, the works presented in this exhibition bear witness to the permanence of an aesthetic approach which tirelessly questions the visual experience and the viewer’s relationship to space and to the work.<\/p>\n
This exhibition is produced thanks to the friendly support and curatorship of Albert Baronian, a great figure and major player in contemporary art in Belgium for over 50 years.[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
The exhibition is open to the public during opening hours, Tuesday to Sunday, 1:30pm to 6:30pm.

[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”3232″ img_size=”300×300″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]Olivier Mosset, born in 1944 in Bern (Switzerland), lives and works in Tucson (Arizona) and in Switzerland.
\nHe is one of the central figures of post-war abstract painting and an essential reference for several generations of European and American painters. An actor in the short-lived BMPT movement in 1967, his art is direct and obvious, removing figuration, subjectivity, symbols and metaphors in a practice in search of formal rigor and the physical origins of painting. The series of circles that he tirelessly painted during the 1960s, opposing traditional European painting, whether figurative or abstract, is among the most frequently commented on works of this period. Geometric abstraction, monochrome then post-abstraction, his work is based on a principle of neutrality, radicality and erasure which constantly questions the limits of painting. Combined with conceptual abstraction, Mosset’s works represent color and pure form, inviting us to the open physical experience of surface, scale and pattern.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/4″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”3236″ img_size=”300×300″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]Alain Biltereyst, born in 1965 in Brussels (Belgium), lives and works in Brussels.
\nHis abstract works are testimony to his interest in the visual language of our urban environment. He has always been fascinated by the extreme functionality of commercial signage and how these supports attract our attention. He draws inspiration from the commercial signage and graphic design work he encounters on streets, billboards and transportation vehicles. Freeing himself from any narrative constraints, he offers us a purely visual and material experience. Transposed from the public space to the intimacy of the art center, the world of graffiti and that of advertising coexist harmoniously. It refers to the tradition of abstract painting while offering its own vocabulary. He manages to bring yesterday\u2019s visual language back to life by updating its colors and shapes.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/4″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/4″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/4″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”3239″ img_size=”300×300″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]Lionel Est\u00e8ve, born in Lyon in 1967, lives and works in Brussels (Belgium).
\nThe work of Lionel Est\u00e8ve lies at the crossroads of drawing, sculpture and installation. Defining himself above all as a sculptor, he evokes the world around us using synthetic materials but also with natural elements. Drawing inspiration from patterns observed in nature, he strives to represent his creations by associating distinctive characteristics of living beings, particularly through anthropomorphic assemblages. His work plays on space, colors and sensory perception and underlines his interest in creative energies and their capture. He thus deploys materials, lines, colors in the interval of the perceptible and the imperceptible. His works manifest informality and fragility and give the impression of an endless reality. His work\u2019s playful interaction with space, color and sensory perception is the result of meticulous research using a wide range of materials. His creations lie between chance, repetition and rigidity.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/4″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”3241″ img_size=”300×300″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]Charlotte vander Borght, born in 1988 in Brussels, lives and works between New York and Brussels.
\nWhether sculpture or photography, his work focuses on the materiality of industry and architecture. She focuses her practice around sculpture, sometimes by using models of New York subway seats, sometimes by offering larger-scale outdoor works. Drawing on pictorial history, architecture and design, the artist constantly reinterprets industrial production, both from the point of view of forms and that of materials. His works are as many witnesses who try to catch, pause and reflect on our constantly changing times in which permanent acceleration and planned obsolescence have become the new norms. Oscillating between abstraction and figuration, she intends to focus new attention on the everyday object by aestheticizing it.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/4″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
