Initiated at the end of the 1970s, at a time when artistic photography was almost exclusively a matter of black and white, the “Photocolore” series is particularly revealing of the practice of John Batho, an artist born in 1939.

These are artists who never stopped documenting, questioning and transforming the world, breaking down social boundaries,…

As Johann Wolfgang von Goethe said: You can only see what you already know and understand. There are probably more incomprehensible than comprehensible phenomena between heaven and earth, and it is in this in-between, the known and the unknown that artists Roel Stels and Bart Ramakers operate. At first sight, no two artists are more different from each other. Roel is a maker, a constructor, a do-it-yourself engineer who starts with a…

"His photographs are beautiful, but it is not so much the beauty you see with your eyes that is the point. It is the fact that the beauty he has captured with his camera was not the same before he clicked the shutter and will not be the same after. That impermanence is the more profound beauty he seeks in his work."—Eikoh Hosoe Veritas Editions, the premier publishing house specializing in…
