Buysse Gallery presents SHIFT, Abstract Transformations, a group exhibition within the program, focusing on the evolution of abstract art in Europe.
Curated by Carmen Casiuc.
Cyrielle Gulacsy (FR), Tom Van Puyvelde (BE), Lieven Deconinck (BE), Emanuel Seitz (GER), Irina Ojovan (MD), Damien Bénéteau (FR), Stien Bekaert (BE), Bram Bogart (BE), and Tycjan Knut (PL).
More than a display of art objects, “SHIFT” delivers a multifaceted exploration of stylistic and thematic relationships, becoming a framework where new artists will be invited as response to its first iteration.
In ‘Soft fronts, splits parted’, 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. This multimedia exhibition alternates coloured images with photographic fragments and places sculptural elements in open space.
