Visit to Tilburg | atelier of Koen Delaere
Another trip, this one with Marja, to visit Koen in his studio in Tilburg. In the center (why are all artists in the city centers ??!!) and difficult to find but worthwhile ! Koen's work, some paintings were in the process of drying, are layered and need time to be fully discovered. Base alkyd paint is covered with acrylic paint before his real work starts. The results are 'typical Delaere' and yet very individual. More photo-material will be produced and circulated ahead of his first solo show in Belgium (March/April 2009). We wonder where the biertaxi was heading to...

Visit to London | studio of Ben Young
A quick dash across the channel to visit the studio of Ben Young on the outskirts of London. Cold and bright day but plenty of work to warm up to. The paintings are strong - very present - dark - challenging the viewer - raw & and bold. Do we see the painter ?
London has plenty to offer but Brussels is gaining ground with Ben making his entree in 2009 !
Florette Dijkstra @ Locuslux
Florette came to Brussels to inspect the gallery ! A worthwhile visit & discussion with Loek on how to integrate her paintings into a show in 2009. The paintings are still, quiet and yet very present - meticulously refined. We have the majority of Florette's books at the gallery - come and take a look. I will put a couple 'on line' soon.
Visit to Liege, Belgium | atelier Jonathan de Winter
Together with Loek Grootjans, I visited the large, industrial style atelier of Jonathan de Winter. A great place - in the center of town. Intriguing installations - lots of space and light. Jonathan is working on various noise producing installations, paintings and other concepts. We talked about his contribution to a large exhibition ('...Stands for Attitude') which Loek will curate for Locuslux in 2009 (April - June). Unique to be able to 'look into' unrestrained efforts to develop a style - a presence. 
Warm coffee and chocolate cake further helped forget the dreary grey day outside !
