Diederik Boyen
28.09.24 - 27.10.24
In the exhibition "ont-BINDING," Diederik Boyen presents a series of new works painted on old canvases with a rich past. These canvases, which have already lived a full life, are reused by the artist and integrated into a new, semi-abstract world. While the original figurative images often serve as a starting point, Boyen completely transforms them into almost abstract compositions, sometimes featuring finely painted everyday objects.
Usually, nothing of the original paintings remains visible. What does shine through, however, is the patina, the texture, and the "battle scars" of the recycled canvases. These elements give the works a tangible depth, essentially turning them into objects with character.
The exhibition runs from September 28 until Sunday, October 27, 2024.
Open on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, from 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM and by appointment.
