Clara Brörmann (°1982, Duisburg, DE) lives and works in Berlin (DE). Clara Brörmann’s work offers the viewer the chance to follow the process of creation of the paintings. She plays with the viewer’s natural thirst for knowledge and provides intellectual and practical insight into the visual creation. During a longer process of construction and deconstruction, a layered painting emerges: she constructs and deletes, covers or removes paint. She sketches and rejects until she has created a unity of colour, shape and material. Vivid lines, shifted areas of colour and traces of the working process guide the eye through the artworks. Paint offers several possibilities and is used accordingly: as impasto oil paint, as a structuring mass, as a thin glaze and as volatile pigment. The result are paintings with abstract, often geometric compositions that exude a multidimensional materiality and strong physical presence.
Clara Brörmann had solo exhibitions at RL16 (Berlin), Tick Tack (Antwerp), Schiavo Zoppelli Gallery (Milan) and Nicelle Beauchene Gallery (New York), among others. She participated in group exhibitions at Triangle (Knokke), migrant bird space (Berlin) and contemporary fine arts (Berlin), among others.
Isabel Fredeus (°1991, Kapellen) lives and works in Antwerp. Her artistic work includes installations, sculptures, video and performances. Fredeus is mainly interested in materials that are elastic, manipulative and flexible. Her works age, revive, decline and transform in time, while presenting a specific biological or chemical process. Within her artistic practice she tries to follow these processes, investigate the origin of their attraction and search for alternative meanings. For the past two years, she has been researching the sculptural qualities of mycelium in collaboration with microbiologist Elise Elsacker. Mycelium is the thread network of fungi.
Fredeus obtained a Master in Fine Arts and a Master of Research in Art & Design at St Lucas School of Arts in Antwerp. Her work was shown in the biennale Enghien 2024 (BE), at Sainte Anne Gallery, Paris (FR), Intershop, Leipzig (DE), Gr_Und, Berlin (DE), Art & Eco museum Felix de Boeck, Brussels (BE), Extra City Kunsthal (BE), Middelheim Museum (BE), M KHA (BE). She won the Lucas award 2015, awarded by Sint Lucas University College, Antwerp (BE). She won the Middelheim Museum Young Artist Prize and the awarded by the Middelheim Promotors and the prize of the public, Antwerp (BE).
