Summer Exhibition
10/07/2026 - 06/08/2026
Bridging landscape and the human form, this Summer Exhibition showcases the work of seven artists: Damien Cadio, Raphaël Decoster, Rémy Hans, Paul Rog, Manu vb Tintoré, Griet Troch & Robin Wen.
Whether through deconstruction or figuration, the landscape evokes distinct sensibilities, while the human presence asserts itself through juxtaposition and sheer physicality.
In the hands of Damien Cadio, the landscape becomes a contemplative realm that provokes and questions the viewer. Working from ordinary imagery, his subtly altered compositions compel us to look beyond the
frame. Dissonance, humor, and the off-canvas narrative unveil an alternate dimension-one where painting disrupts our obsession with imagery and illuminates the ambiguities of the modern world.
Captivated by the fluid ambiguity between waves and mountains, Raphaël Decoster distills his landscapes into pure line. Exploring the symmetry between static mineral energy and a liquid in perpetual motion, his panoramas dissolve into gesture. Shifting lines, thickening or tapering through the mechanical action of a blue pen, evoke rock strata or flowing water, carving out the volumes, textures, and reliefs of an elusive landscape shaped by the unpredictability of the artist's hand.
In contrast, Rémy Hans’ blue pencil landscapes are defined by a profound interplay between positive and negative space. The delicate trace of the pencil outlines and isolates natural elements against the paper, emerging from the blank background like poetry. This technique brings the convergence of nature and urbanism into sharp focus. Often, the two environments coexist; at times, they intertwine to create natural architectures or landscapes that expose human intervention, and even the destruction of the natural world.
Paul Rog presents windows onto anachronistic landscapes. Drawing influence from Early Netherlandish painting, his compositions immerse the viewer in vistas that seem to belong to a bygone era. Yet, a human presence, architectural elements, and details imbued with an undeniable modernity disrupt this reading. This juxtaposition opens up a contemplative space, where tradition and contemporaneity coexist in a silent narrative.
Landscape takes on a different dimension in the practice of Manu vb Tintoré. The artworks translate visceral visual sensations, such as a single blade of grass entering our field of vision while lying on a lawn, or the sweeping impression of surveying a field from high above. Whether microscopic or macroscopic, this approach to landscape allows Manu to find an artistic language within the extremes-one that ultimately resolves into geometry.
Within her multidisciplinary practice, Griet Troch introduces a body of sculpture for this exhibition. Her work is defined by an honest, raw, and highly physical exploration of how bodies occupy space and transcend
their own physical constraints to become a radical poem. This poetic expression liberates itself not only from formal boundaries, through figures that crouch or contort, but also from societal mores, subtly brushing against the threshold of the taboo.
Robin Wen’s ballpoint pen drawings explore human relationships through intertwined forms that blur into one another. Through dense linework and layered gestures, the artist composes images where individuality dissolves into a collective presence. Set against the atmosphere of a nocturnal crowd, bodies cross paths, draw closer, and merge. Balancing tension and tenderness, these compositions reveal the mutual transformation of presence.
