Elsje Dezwartes book Coil is a visual and cerebral reflection of everything and nothing, of how humans experience and live through time. It is about human experience across generations; caught in an infinite time loop. The cadence and rhythm of the images slowly carry the viewer along, as time passes. The reader becomes part of the scene and decides for themselves the direction and sequence of events. Are they looking at the present, the past or the future? The landscapes develop their own ch...

"We could compare Van Puyvelde’s approach to painting to an instinctive, all-encompassing vision, a careful and patient observation of a small plot of land where every is silent, but where everything is happening at once, where the wind varies, the lights move, and where that which often remains in its place suddenly seems to be no longer there."

Michel François’s studio is like a garden—un jardin contre nature—in which objects hang, transform, appear, disappear. Through minimal gesture with maximum effect, François transforms seemingly meaningless objects and materials into meaning-laden objects. Their spiritual character makes us pause in amazement at the artist’s impact on his surroundings, but in a larger context also on our own influence on the world we inhabit. In an agonisingly slow manner, a black block of marble is ...

Now, eleven years later, Jef Van Eynde went back to photograph Raoul De Keyser's studio and compiled them into this new series titled “Vesti...
