Opening EXPO RÖNTGEN Will Beckers & Manu Bloemen 05/06 at 19.00

Landscape artist Will Beckers and photographer Manu Bloemen met two years ago during the setup of the prestigious House Of Nature project.

This duo exhibition is a combination of, on the one hand, photographs by Manu Bloemen, where the images, due to their strong graphic character, become almost abstract artworks and detach themselves from the project as a whole.

On the other hand, you will see sculptures by Will Beckers title  ‘Cavity’.

By ‘removing’ matter, cavities are created that make the underlying structures visible.

Rhythmic structures that manifest themselves as repetitions and, in an experimental way, show an X-ray of the aging process

Guided Tour of House of Nature

At House of Nature in Lommel, Will Beckers talks about what inspired him and the relationship between art, nature, and the environment. As an artist, he specializes in creating site-specific, natural installations that explore the relationship between people and the natural world.

His projects can be found in public spaces and invite the public to interact with and experience the artwork.

During a short guided walk, we will also explore the immediate surroundings. Veerle Leysen (Heritage Lommel) and Eddy Ulenaers (forest ranger at Nature and Forest) will each provide further explanation about the area from their respective areas of expertise.

“The merriment of fragmentation” - New indoor Expo as part of the Summer Exhibition at the Verbeke Foundation.

Expo – Will Beckers

The merriment of fragmentation 

This retrospective exhibition shows the philosophy of the « merriment of fragmentation » that is visible in Will Beckers’ work across various mediums and time frames.

“Sometimes it is necessary to break everything before seeing the direction that the work needs to go, then you begin again and the result is even more powerful than you could have imagined.”, explains Will.
