Jurjen Ravenhorst at Affordable Art Fair

We visited the Affordable Art Fair this weekend in Brussels. Unfortunately at the wrong hour. It was far too crowded to get a proper view on the artworks. On our way out we realized we had been lucky, new visitors were queueing up in a 40 meter long line.
It was not obvious to get decent pictures. I tried. I'll post a few in the next days.

wall-objects by Jurjen Ravenhorst

at Chiefs & Spirits Gallery - Netherlands

I can't explain why, but I was particularly drawn to these wall-sculptures - or 3D paintings. They really don't show well in the picture (thanks Jurjen for your kind cooperation).

I should have taken some close-ups but was too disturbed by the crowd, it makes me nervous. Better next time.

Jan Marechal - fun ceramics

While walking from one location to the next exhibition at SuperStories in Hasselt - Belgium (more posts on this later) we spot this window where emerging ceramic artist Jan Marechal is working. I have an addiction on artists' studios so I had to go in and see what was happening.

He makes these irresistible UFO-boats.

Still setting up shop.

The painting in the background is fascinating, I just don't know who the artist is.

Can someone tell me so that I can add the information

the artist in the background

(again, I don't know who painted this portrait)

Sorry ... not the best picture of his UFO-boats. If I get the chance to go back one day I will try to make a better one.

Still working on new stacked ceramic sculptures.

At the end of April - if all goes well - I will have Open Studio Days, so I'm not revealing too much right now.
