Souvenirs – Irène Laub Gallery Brussels
For his first solo exhibition at Irène Laub gallery, Stijn Cole presents a new body of work entitled «Souvenirs». Cole started creating these pieces upon moving back to Ghent during the first lockdown, as a tribute to the area of Chimay where he lived for several years. While seeking to visually capture specific moments in time, the artist came to realize that he was also, in a broader but more straightforward sense, representing moments in his own lifetime. In addition to several new paintings, he will be presenting sculptures made out of Carrara marble and Rouge de Rance marble, as well as two new bronze sculptures.
