28.11.2024 - 22.12.2024
Duo Exhibition:

Julie Calbert – Êkhô
Stien Bekaert – Unforeseen Events

For Êkhô, Julie Calbert invites artist Stien Bekaert at L’Enfant Sauvage Brussels.
Through this collaboration, the two artists explore the link between their works and create a dialogue, each offering us a different perspective on nature and landscape. While Stien transforms images of natural catastrophes into abstract compositions, offering a meditation on the impact of disasters, Julie examines the landscape as a living, resonant material, oscillating from the horizon to the infinitely small
with mineral hues and ethereal forms.

Together, they invite us to reflect on our connection with nature and the echoes of its transformations.

13.04.2024 — 12.05.2024
Solo Exhibition:

Rufus Gallery shows ‘Soft fronts, splits parted’. This exhibition alternates coloured lithographs with photographic fragment prints and places sculptural elements in open space. Where Bekaert starts from a wide range of internet images ─ unfiltered, from mundane banalities to politics. The manipulated elements serve as building blocks in a quest for connection, exposure and voyeurism. A core theme in this is the transformation of visual elements into intense emotions.
