Klaas Rommelaere, A Patchwork Diary
“His new exhibition titled Dark Uncles goes beyond fashion and ascends to a world of slightly absurd yet beautifully hand-crafted art. Klaas Rommelaere, born 1986 in Roeselare and living in Antwerp, creates intricately embroidered tapestries and hand-stitched, free-standing sculptures to tell the tales of his lived experience. The artist graduated in 2013 from KASK Ghent from the fashion department and dedicates himself to textile sculpture.”
Ena Swansea, Urban Romantics
“...Swansea’s paintings intricately twist and turn the paradoxical nature between location and dislocation, realism and dream, abstraction and representation. Her largely printed canvases tell a story of urban mastery, ‘slow painting’ and the humble boundaries of romantic mirages that investigate multitudinous ways to capture moments in time as they move swiftly into past time, with a hint of film-like qualities.”
