Handle with Care explores fragility in its many forms: that of materials, images, and the passage of time. The two artists each question, in their own way, the precarious nature of the visible and the delicacy of detail. Through castings and imprints, transparencies and overlays, their works reveal what endures and what fades away. The meticulous attention given to textures and forms highlights the tension between solidity and vulnerability, between presence and disappearance. An invitation to perceive fragility in all its strength.
Emilie Terlinden (°1983, Brussels) has a Master’s degree in Visual Arts from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Brussels. Her painting practice draws inspiration from Flemish masters, exploring the interplay between abstraction and still life. Her work weaves elements of Renaissance imagery and everyday objects into intricate, baroque-inspired compositions. She took part in group exhibitions in Kanal Centre Pompidou in Brussels, the Ianchelevici Museum in La Louvière, and Oppenheim Palace in Cologne. Her accolades include the Laurent Moonens Art Prize (2018), a special mention for the Jos Albert Art Prize (2020), and selections for the Jean and Irène Ransy Art Prize (2017 and 2020), along with multiple nominations for distinguished art awards. Her work is included in many private and public collections, among others in the prestigious Belfius Art Collection.
