Open Studio days

Bloed-ernstig of stapel-gek, ingetogen of uitbundig, sober of speels ... licht, hout, ijzer, steen, spiegel, textiel, plastiek, keramiek, pigmenten ... stapelen, verbouwen, combineren, ontwerpen, creëren, ... assemblages met een eigen visie.

not finished with the setup of my works, likely to change until the weekend -this is a view of one of the many corners of my studio. There is much more to see than this, don't have time to make decent pictures. Still very busy with clearing the mess (look at the next pictures, that is how it was just a few days ago) and cleaning the sawdust from every nook and cranny.

40 studios of artists in various disciplines are open for the public
all the info on :
www.Kunstroute-leuven.be

Hope to see many enthusiastic visitors and I wish everyone a fascinating tour and all the participating artists a successful weekend.

Kunstroute-Leuven ontspoort!

36
pubs, posh & trendy cafes, restaurants, brasseries, ... on the "Oude Markt" in Leuven - locally known as the longest beercounter in the world (this is a buzzing University city) - have works on display of 40 local artists. The theme is 'derailment' . Works will stay on the premises from 26th of March until 26th of April; that is the weekend of the Open Studios art tour Kunstroute-Leuven.

Pictures taken in bad conditions. Not much time to focus or choose the best possible angle; one cannot disturb the customers every time to have an excellent view. Lighting is a problem and so is the heavy smoke. So here we go with a selection, some pictures were just not good enough.

this one has a little story : the muslim owner did not want an erotic work on his walls (look at the other work of Arne up here at Karément), so Arne put up a painting of peppers. But on different windows of this pita-place are these sexy images....

There is much more to see and many of the artists have more than one work displayed. Worth while the tour. The whole list can be found on the site http://www.kunstroute-leuven.be/, and after entering click 'ontspoort!'.
