THE MISSING SCRIPT Fête solitaire
14 November 2024 – 21 December 2024 14.11.2024 – 21.12.2024
Rue Isidore Verheyden 2
It is with great pride and emotion that we present to you the very last exhibition of Galerie Baronian, which will permanently close its doors on December 21, 2024. We thus bring to a close Albert Baronian’s 51 years of gallery history with a solo exhibition by Robert Devriendt.
For many years, Devriendt has been working on THE MISSING SCRIPT, an ongoing project composed of small series of paintings. Here, he presents the next chapter of this story, titled Fête solitaire.
Devriendt’s work is distinguished by a captivating blend of cinematic qualities and refined painting. His series of paintings evoke the atmosphere of a film trailer, carrying an underlying sense of drama. He employs montage techniques and visual codes drawn from modern visual culture, which influence our perception of reality. Elements such as mise-en-scène, props, and references to specific film genres—such as film noir—are central to his art. At the same time, his work is reminiscent of Flemish painting, with a particular focus on the tactile quality of the depicted subjects. This diversity lends his oeuvre a depth that invites prolonged contemplation.
