Art Brussels 2025

For Art Brussels 2025, Galerie La Forest Divonne presents « Zee / See », a group show of six artists, three Belgian, two French and one American, displaying both tapestry, sculpture and painting inspired by seas and shores.This ambitious setting comes as a sequel of the scenography around rocks and magnetism presented by the gallery in Art Brussels 2024.

Oceans carry both mystery and fear, and a promise for liberty and discovery. They are so powerful and strong, yet they also embody the fragility of Nature facing climate change. Young belgian duo KRSJT Studio, who are at the forefront of tapestry renewal in contemporary art, will display a monumental tapestry, patiently embroidered for long months, leading the way of the stand’s concept, as a strong wave shaping the mysterious rocks in Guy de Malherbe’s both expressionist and slightly surrealist paintings, and the bronze scultpures of Catherine François, where she combines metal with plastic derelicts found on the beaches of the North Sea. In a much more meditative response to the infinity of the Ocean, Jeff Kowatch’s smooth abstractions, also inspired by the Belgian cost, will draw healing, peace and infinite horizons from the immensity of the seas.
