For its 28^th exhibition, OV Project presents a dialogue between the work of Bernd Lohaus and the one of Ante Timmermans, two artists from a different generation who share a common visual and linguistic language.

The selection features emblematic sculptures and drawings by Bernd Lohaus as well as drawings and wooden panels by Ante [removed];
 

Born in Germany, Bernd Lohaus (1940 — 2010) spent most of his working life in Antwerp, where he developed a body of work centred around materials such as wood, stone, paper and rope. Stripped from any superfluous elements, the bare material gives place to formally simple, yet engaging works. An undeniable aestheticism emanates from Bernd Lohaus’ oeuvre: a body of work combining the simplicity of the form, the natural materials and the semantic force of language.

Ante Timmermans (1976°) is a Belgian multidisciplinary artist from Ghent. He works with drawings, paintings, sculptures and performative installations. The work of Ante Timmermans is an invitation to reflect on our relationship to things. His works are organised and structured so as to mirror our own social and political layouts. With the use of intermingled lines, of circles and triangular shapes resembling wedges, his compositions form abstract expressions embedded in a continuous search for meaning.
