"I work in a figurative, realistic style, using several techniques such as: pencil, ink, acrylic paint, watercolors. I really like painting landscapes, flowers and birds. Having received a very warm welcome in various exhibitions highlighting worth my work, I continue to progress day by day in an anthology of colors. "

VÉRONICA BARCELLONA
03/12/2019 - 09/01/2020
From 03/12/2019 to 09/01/2020, come admire the great work of Véronica Barcellona.
This visual artist will take you into her artistic world apart.
Véronica:
"I grew up in an environment where the desire to learn and analyze was a vector and a choice to invest myself in the artistic field.
I develop different topics using a thread stimulated by my rants and my favorites.
It is from the expression of my feelings that I mix and take all the materials. I question the materiality of the media, the porosity of paper or cardboard, the weight of the resin or the colored light related to acrylic.
I have this faculty of appropriating the space of representation that leads me to real installations, tirelessly passing from the canvas to the object.
Color is ubiquitous in my compositions because it paces, shapes and gives depth to the subjects I realize.
Since 2009, I have collaborated with many galleries in Belgium, Europe and the United States. Not to mention my collaboration since 2016 with a French company. (AQUARESE BY FLOW)
Polymorphous artist, I propose to you in my artistic universe a personal mythology! "
OLIVIER POUQUET: NATURE IN PERSON
01/11/2019 - 02/12/2019
The exhibition "Nature in Person", a group of 30 photos, is based on three themes: "Dusk and Dawn", "Force of Nature" and "Looks.
Olivier:
"The big spaces and the looks have this in common that they reveal everything and nothing at the same time, they expose themselves fully without revealing their just nature. To capture this irrational, to seize the precise moment when the image keeps just enough restraint to be given a meaning, has fascinated me for almost 10 years.
In Belgium, in Europe or at the end of the World, I invite you for a trip where Nature is watching us. "
IDEEBLACK : ONCE PAINTED
01/10/2019 - 31/10/2019
IdeeBlack, a young father of three children and of Congolese origin, has been painting since the age of nine. This pure autodidact started with the drawing before going on painting on everything that passes to him by the hands. A piece of cardboard, a T-shirt, a canvas,... can become works of art thanks to the style of IdeeBlack.
Arrived in Belgium, IdeeBlack has a style apart. He creates portraits of humans and animals in one go and always colorful. As soon as it starts, IdeeBlack stops only when the portrait is finished. By this very deterministic approach, our Congolese painter realizes canvases in live.
With Once Painted, color and African style were honored at Happy Day Ixelles.
MARION ELSKENS : SATATIONS IN BLACK AND WHITE
15/08/2019 - 31/09/2019
Marion:
"I chose to make a photographic series about the Brussels stations, as my aesthetic choice is rather crude and depopulated, reinforced by black and white, which I think highlights the architecture.
It's been a year since I started photography. Through the image, I like being able to highlight places and things that we often see without necessarily paying attention."
ARTHUR ELSKENS : THE MACRO AND THE COLOR
15/08/2019 - 31/09/2019
Arthur:
"The eighth art, photography, is for me a way, like the paintbrush is for the painter, to produce a work. My photography is creative and surreal more than realistic, they are moods and emotions that I transmit through colors. My photos often called dark allow my sense to emphasize the focal points.
The conducting son of the works, here presented, follows through the colors.
Being an amateur photographer in perpetual learning, the photography allows me to transmit above all a feeling towards the scenes presented in the life of every day."
FRANÇOIS GRIMOIN : URBEX IS SO SEX
