Meessen De Clercq gallery

Meessen De Clercq’s gallery shows in Brussels the exhibition of three young artists linked by the question of materials and colours.Alek O. “On Parasols, Jumpers and Balls”, Nicolàs Lamas “Reference Points” and Lieven De Boeck “Mikado LDB Modulor”. 

LIEVEN DE BOECK - Mikado LDB Modulor

Lieven De Boeck shows his masterly sculptural work Mikado LDB Modulor in the wunderkammer. This technical tour de force consists of glass elements referring to the game of Mikado, with measures and colours related to the length of the artist himself as well as to the Anglo-Saxon metric system.

The practice of the young Peruvian artist based in Belgium is fed to a reflection on space, time, culture and science. Exploring in an almost scientific way, different fields such as astronomy or physics are questioned. Lamas formalizes his research in using various media as photography, sculpture, video or readymade objects.

 ALEK O. - On Parasols, Jumpers and Balls

The work of Alek O. is characterized by the reinterpretation of seemingly trivial objects. It is the personal significance and the nostalgic aspect of these objects that contribute to the story told by the artist. Gloves, umbrella’s or shirts are deconstructed and abstracted to the essence, making it possible to create a new meaning with the fibre that is left. By unraveling a pair of gloves she creates potential to tell a new story. 

From the 8th November to December 7th, from 11 to 18
