Yves Joris for Gallery Viewer

Exactly 140 years have passed since Vincent van Gogh arrived in Antwerp, a city that stretched before him like a jagged yet promising horizon. He came with high expectations of the academy, but soon discovered that the real learning took place elsewhere: in the alleys where light fell at an angle, at the docks where water and labour formed their own rhythm, in the cafés where people were themselves without embellishment, and… in the quiet gardens where his gaze finally found space.

Gallery Viewer has published an interview with Francis Henri Vanhee about his new exhibition Stranger than a fictional village at NQ Gallery.

What at first glance seems like a risky labyrinth of impressions turns out, on closer inspection, to be a subtle and living network of meanings. This reflection seeks the invisible thread that holds together this kaleidoscopic exhibition. A curator who makes himself invisible.
