Bram Van Breda (°1992, Lier, BE) lives and works in Oostende. This is his first exhibition in our gallery. He studied Graphic and Textile Design in Luca School of Arts in Brussels and Ghent, where he actually teaches textile design.
Bram Van Breda questions our environment like an ethnographer, with a concern for the social and political conditions of places. Through historical research, site-specific works and material studies, physical places are transformed into ‘environments’, where new spatial narratives can deploy like a ‘speculative fabulation’. He seeks to manipulate spaces and invites us to reimagine our surrounding with the clear intention to blur the sharpness of existing meanings and interpretations, in doing so free our mind to reach and invent new dimensions within the same physical appearance. He uses all kinds of fabrics, cords and threads for this purpose.
Tatiana Gorgievski (°1997, Paris, FR) lives and works between Paris and Brussels. This is her first exhibition in our gallery. She studied at the ENS in Lyon, graduating with a master’s degree in philosophy (2020), then at ENSAV La Cambre, where she obtained a master’s degree in painting (2024). She was a resident at the Moonens Foundation in the first half of 2025.Her work has been shown in international art fairs in Brussels, Madrid and New York, and in solo exhibitions in Paris and Brussels.
Gorgievski’s painting practice is based on physical contact and unpredictable encounters with matter, from which figures emerge. She works with oil and pure pigments, without any preparatory intention, on canvas and wood panels. The themes reveal themselves after the fact, once the painting is finished: violence, childhood, dispossession, sexuality, the relationship with oneself and with others and mystery are at the heart of the work. Her canvases grab us physically, like fleeting, burning sensations that remain under the skin.
