KETELEER GALLERY is proud to announce the exclusive representation of Belgian artist Guy Van Bossche (°1952. Mortsel, BE).
Guy Van Bossche is a remarkable artist who has made a significant impact on Belgian painting since the early 1980s. His body of work, based on both existing and self-conceived imagery, is characterized by a critical and profound exploration of the human condition. Van Bossche describes his work as an ongoing investigation into "the qualities of discomfort." In his artistic practice, he questions our place within a changing world, exploring and reshaping themes such as violence, mental cruelty, censorship, freedom, power, identity, and temporality through the lens of painting.
His paintings embody a certain detachment and an analytical view of reality where uncomfortable truths lurk behind the façade of everyday existence. They serve as instruments for reflection and introspection, inviting the viewer to peel away layers of meaning and discover a multifaceted reality.
Guy Van Bossche had, among others, major soloshows at M HKA – Antwerp, Centro de Arte – Salamanca and De Garage – Mechelen. The artist is represented in museum collections such as S.M.A.K. – Ghent, M HKA – Antwerp and MU.ZEE – Ostend.
The first solo exhibition by Guy Van Bossche with the gallery, conatining a completely new seriesof paintings, will be presented in January, 2025.
