4 Base-Alpha Gallery Nadia Naveau – I Spy With My Little Eye Based upon children’s game ‘I spy with my little eye’, Nadia Naveau creates in her new exhibition an insight on how she specifically looks at things.

She will present her new ceramics, bronzes and cast iron in small dioramas. Extra: Base-Alpha Gallery takes part in Little HISK. Part of Antwerp Artists.

Callewaert-Vanlangendonck is delighted with the double exhibition “Cox-van den Broek“, in which the latter pays tribute to one of his examples, Jan Cox. The work of Koen van den Broek is characterized primarily by the way he depicts the urbane (mainly American and Asian) landscape, and always starts from an abstract language. During this exhibition, the gallery displays a screen print that Koen van den Broek created specially for this show.

6 De Zwarte Panter Ysbrant – Selinunte Frederique van Rijn – Vergankelijkheid Fugacidad Ysbrant van Wijngaarden (1937, The Hague, NL) belongs to the older generation of contemporary ‘expressive painters’. In some respects is actually a hardliner: Ysbrant shuns the conceptual entirely; no explanation is offered of his work – the work has to speak entirely for himself. The collaboration between Ysbrant and De Zwarte Panter started in 1975, resulting in a series of exhibitions throughout the years. On occasion of the exhibition a new book by Ysbrant and Remco Campert is published. Frederique van Rijn: “The poetry of natural light and the curiosity of space are the defining marks of my trade. Little of my interiors are staged or arranged. They are what they are.” Extra: Fri 20. May 18.00, Ysbrant book signing and live drawing Part of BOOKS, Antwerp Artists, and Contemporary Photography.

7 Eva Steynen. Deviation(s) Aurélie Gravas Aurélie Gravas presents in her recent paintings and drawings the continuation of her practice to disintegrate the figure into more abstract forms. Through her drawings she gives an analytical insight in her way of (de)composing a painting. She cuts out different forms and fixes them with magnets on large, black metal sheets. Abstract and figurative parts form a new, vibrating whole. In the final presentation, the detail and the whole emphasis the mobility of perception.

9 Galerie Annette De Keyser Nassermann – The Process Nassermanns second exhibition at the gallery shows his recent works. They are more inwardly than the works on show last year, being the result of a spiritual liberating purification, which goes closely together with his thinking about art and the role of art in our life. Nassermann works with video, digital compositions and sound. At this moment he is participating in the Industrial Art Biennial in Labin, Istra/Croatia.

10 Galerie Geukens and De Vil Jaromír Novotný – White Room The ongoing evolution in the work of Jaromír Novotný led to his recent series of fragile monochromes on synthetic organza. Searching for new attitudes towards painting, Novotný finds himself rejecting any established approach of painterly practice, creating neither merely formal nor conceptual work in which he outlines the complex process, restrictions and possibilities peculiar to the medium.

GA LLER I ES
For his ‘FACADES’ series, Markus Brunetti (Bavaria, 1965) captured religious buildings around Europe, architecture aimed to overwhelm by way of physical superiority over man’s small stature. By way of advanced visual technology, in his photographs he combined highly technical precision with an absolute peaceful ambience to evoke a sense of estrangement. The artist will show his latest works from his most recent travels around Europe, including Belgium. Extra: Part of Contemporary Photography.
