Photography, Installation

Probing the in-between, the fluctuating, the ephemeral… The images I seek emerges from a desire to explore the margins of reality. At the core of my practice, memory, imagination, mythology and metamorphosis are focal matters, as they unfold fluctuating, and sometimes troubled interior landscapes. I use photography as a material, a source from which I transform and repeat the image, to break it up and unfold its facets; to encourage the emergence of that part of reality that escapes the concrete. My artistic practice prices the place of the unforeseen, of what happens accidentally; it also prices the combining of chemical techniques and processes (silver gelatin, Polaroid, cyanotype, transfers,…), while pursuing research on the materiality of photography.

Screen printing, underwater photography, installation, molding, composite materials

Born in Paris (France) in 1992, Loup studied design at Ecole Boulle, then moved to Brussels and mastered in 2018 from ENSAV La Cambre in ‘Image imprimée’, did an erasmus year in Fine Arts at Central Sint Martin’s in London (UK) the same year. The collect of raw materials and images, the engagement in the field and then the productive phase in the studio are determining factors in the development of his work. The collect of prints successively takes the form of casts, photos, videos and silk-screen prints.

The mineral and organic bodies thus archived will then be reduced into pigments for the production of the significant inks that he uses in his prints. The mechanical process of screen printing is combined with the vitality of these mineral and organic bodies, the natural particles merge with the standardized screen. The protocol technique is here tested by morphogenesis. This one brings an irregularity and a singularity to the serial production.

Sculptor

Alexandra Leyre Mein's work centers around her fascination with being human, our behavior towards ourselves, others and our environment. Why do we behave the way we do? Is it an interaction, a dance and/or a fight between our subconscious on the one hand our desires and emotions, and on the other hand our reason? Her sculptures are characterized by an encounter between organic structures and pure and crystalline forms, raw and smooth. The fluid mineral sculptures seem to have grown on a chair or stool, or to have sprang from a piece of marble.



The unfinished aspect in her sculptures reinforces the feeling of movement, as in a 3-dimension-al sketch. They can be interpreted as if still in construction and growing, although they might also be seen as being at the dawn of their decomposition. This duality of interpretation is central to her work.

Photography, paintings, sculptors, installations.

Born in Mexico City in 1982, Ilan Weiss moved to Brussels in 2006 where he began his career.

Before dedicating himself to the visual arts, Weiss began a brief career as a fashion photographer at studio 202, first as an assistant to the famous fashion photographer Karel Fonteyne, and then opened his own studio at the BAF (Brussels Art Factory) in 2008. That same year, he learned photoengraving in Robert Kot's workshop, a discipline he later integrated into his own studio.

He eventually adapted this service to the production of art books with clients such as Dupuis, Flammarion, Alexia de Visscher and artists such as Sammy Baloji. A year later, he taught post-production and pre-press techniques for the publications of Master students at the Ecole Supérieure des Arts de Saint-Luc (Brussels)

“Mon travail s’articule autour d’une recherche de la valorisation de matériaux défectueux, destinés à être jetés mais aussi peu considérés ou délaissés dans les ateliers. D’utiliser des outils “de base” pas nécessairement performants et observer. Mettre en avant l’impermanence, l’esthétique qui naît de l’imprévu et du hasard, d’essayer, de faire, de laisser reposer et d’y revenir et de faire avec. De mettre en valeur la trace laissée. Je fais appel à des personnes, proches ou anonymes afin de m’aider lors de la conception des mes pièces. Une sorte d’excuse pour provoquer une rencontre…”
