Discover the Artists

Alex Brassart works with images from films, documentaries, and found materials, exploring the intangible and the underlying in his paintings. His work invites an ongoing dialogue between image, past, and viewer.

Arno Camps is an artist based in Antwerp whose multidisciplinary work creates poetic, surreal worlds that question social norms and identity.

Jan De Lauré’s work is both modest and grand: free from spectacle or thematic claims, it slowly takes shape from images that persist in his memory, with the artist acting as their attentive medium rather than their interpreter.

Jan Vindevogel is a Belgian painter whose work engages in dialogue with classical painting traditions, unfolding meaning through time and inviting the viewer into a slow, attentive act of looking.

Jeroen Frateur reflects on how unfamiliar places like the Filliers distillery can feel like strange, almost magical worlds, where not understanding becomes an invitation to look, remember, and imagine.

Manon Soetens paints intimate figures drawn from memory and everyday encounters, placing them in quiet landscapes inspired by her long walks to create moments of stillness that invite slow, attentive looking.

Martha Onderwater explores the human body through sculpture, painting, and drawing, capturing the relationship between model and maker to express atmosphere, emotion, and the quiet power of physical presence.

Randoald Sabbe creates art that explores language, history, and identity, inviting viewers to reflect on the shifting layers of meaning that shape memory and culture.

Stief DeSmet creates multidisciplinary work that reflects, with subtle irony, on the tension between nature and culture, exploring humanity’s desire for an idyllic state while questioning the manipulation and myths surrounding it.

William Ludwig Lutgens is a Belgian painter who blends dreamlike and symbolic imagery to explore the human ego and the influence of media, and has exhibited internationally since completing his HISK residency in 2017.

Art in a Distillery

Gallery in the Distillery brought together ten contemporary artists within the walls of a working distillery. A place shaped by craft, time, and transformation became a stage for new artistic voices. The architecture, the scent of wood and copper, and the traces of production invited the artists to respond in their own way, allowing art to grow naturally out of the surroundings.

Throughout the building, familiar elements such as the stills, barrels, and storage rooms became part of the exhibition. Art and location met, influenced one another, and created a fresh perspective on a space usually dedicated to making rather than showing. Over the course of the exhibition, 1,200 people came to experience it.
