Rinus Van de Velde: Selected Works
At first glance, the large-format charcoal drawings of Belgian artist Rinus van de Velde (born 1983)--based on photographs--seem to document part mundane, part absurd occurrences in his own life, but the titles reveal these meticulously recorded and drawn situations as experiences of fictional characters.

I'd Rather Stay at Home...
* The imagined universe of the artist Rinus Van de Velde"Rinus Van de Velde's art touches us because the artist draws us in to his confrontation with external expectations and internal emotions." Fanni Fetzer, Director, Kunstmuseum Luzern Rinus Van de Velde has made remarkable strides in recent years in the development of his oeuvre.

Jennifer Packer
"Friendship, loss and the everyday populate Packer's canvases, full of disquieting detail." -Adrian Searle, The Guardian Through a uniquely textural style of oil painting that evokes the fluidity of watercolors, Jennifer Packer recasts classical genres in a fresh political and contemporary light while keeping them rooted in a deeply personal context. Combining observation, improvisation and memory, Packer's intimate portraits of friends and family members and flower paintings insist on the particularity of the Black lives she depicts. The title of this volume refers to an ecclesiastical description of the insatiable human quest for divine knowledge; with this in mind, Packer's work urges vie...
Ben Sledsens
The big, colorful canvases of the Belgian artist Ben Sledsens (b. 1991) are fanciful and festive. The influence of grandmasters such as Matisse, Rousseau, and Bruegel are not far away in his work, but he translates the classic genres in painting--portraits, still lifes, interiors, and landscapes--into the visual language of his own utopian universe. Inspired by nature, Sledsen's work grows organically, without clean lines or preconceived plans. The result seems to be a snapshot of the ordinary, but invariably special and poetic.
We are All Flesh
Berlinde De Bruyckere's work prompts the viewer to respond. That is why it has a particular appeal for writers of literature: they are fascinated by the compositions of distorted parts of humans and horses that refer to horror and comfort, to a cruel death and the sublime. De Bruyckere empties the bodies. Through holes, the public notices the darkness of a world inside that both appeals and repels. There is space around her work that resonates and in which writers can indulge in creativity -not by writing about objects, but by juxtaposing the work with creative texts. The author does not remove meanings of the work by trying to explain it, but rather adds to its meaning by responding to art with art. Nobel Prize winner J.M. Coetzee rises to this challenge: together with De Bruyckere he has chosen fragments from his impassioned and unsettling novels that are full of great beauty. Thus, the two present a composition of texts and images that from inside illuminates the dark world of their work.
