ART BRUSSELS 2026

For Art Brussels 2026, Galerie La Forest Divonne, brings together 6 artists showing different approaches to Nature and landscape in contemporary art. While Alexandre Hollan and Jean-Marie Bytebier trigger a silent and mysterious dive into forest and trees, Patrice Giorda and Ronan Barrot embody a more violent feeling of Nature, with strong contrasts and thunder, in a more expressionnist and tourmented way. Vincent Bioulès, on an other hand transcripts the vibrant lights of the Meditteranean, with plain colours originating in his early years of abstract painting. To complete this pannel of painters, Valérie Delarue, much reknowed ceramic sculptor, will present her series of ceramic « trunks » and enhance the feeling of visitors to enter a lively forest of color and perception .

Alexandre Hollan (Hungarian, born 1933), is an aclaimed artist, part of more than 20 museum collections accross Europe, and subject of innumerable books by historians, philosophers and poets.

Vincent Bioulès (French, 1938), reknowed painter, whose monumental painting « Les Barricades mystérieuse » welcomed visitors in the past years at the entrance of the permanent collections of Centre Pompidou, is celebrated for his journey from radical abstraction in the 1970’s to the particular style of figurative painting he has carved over the years.
