Tout a commencé lors de mon installation à Londres, au début des années quatre-vingt. J’y ai découvert le monde des galeries d’art, des ventes aux enchères et très vite cet univers fascinant s’est imposé à moi comme une évidence et devint une passion. Mon intérêt pour l’art belge, essentiellement celui de la fin du 19e siècle et du début du 20e siècle, répondait parfaitement à ma sensibilité naissante et à mon sentiment d’exilé. Dès 1991 j’ai donc commencé avec les encouragements de ma mère, qui adorait fouiner, à rechercher et à acquérir des œuvres d’artistes belges de cette période. Peu de temps après, j’ai eu la chance de rencontrer Sabine Taevernier qui est devenue, et qui est encore aujourd’hui, ma conseillère. -

Continuum 119 a Belgian Art Perspective
CONTINUUM 119 A BELGIAN ART PERSPECTIVE OFF-PROGRAM GROUP SHOW 15/04/19 TO 31/07/19 Art does not belong to anyone, it usually passes on from one artist to the next, from one viewer to the next. We inherit it from the past when it served as a cultural testimony to who we were, and we share it with future generations, so they may understand who we are, what we fear, what we love and what we value. Over centuries, civilizations, societies and individuals have built identities around art and culture. This has perhaps never been more so than today. As an off-program exhibition, I decided to invite five Belgian artists whose work I particularly like, to answer back with one of their own contemporary works to a selection of older works that helped build my own Belgian artistic identity. In no way do I wish to suggest that their current work is directly inspired by those artists they will be confronted with. No, their language is mature and singular. But however unique it may be, it can also be looked at in the context of the subtle evolution from their history of art, as mutations into new forms that better capture who these artists are, and the world they live in. Their work can be experienced within an artistic continuum, in which pictorial elements are part of an inheritance, all the while remaining originally distinct. On each of these Belgian artists, I imposed a work from the past, to which they each answered back with a recent work of their own. -

Press Release Brafa 2020 All Together Different
PRESS RELEASE BRAFA 2020 ALL TOGETHER DIFFERENT Over more than fifty years, Galerie Oscar De Vos built a tradition of prestigious exhibitions on Modern Belgian Art, with an emphasis on the art of The Latem School. Artists such as George Minne, Valerius De Saedeleer, Gustave Van de Woestyne, Emile Claus, Albert Servaes, Constant Permeke, Gust. De Smet, Frits Van den Berghe and Hubert Malfait enjoy the appreciation of a large audience throughout museum exhibitions, publications in Belgium and abroad. Each of these artists loved the nature of Latem. There they created their works spontaneously and interacted with the other artists who resided in the village. The region of Flanders has long been an area rich in art. On the outskirts of the city Ghent, along the river Lys, artists relocated to the village of Sint-Martens-Latem. In Flanders, artists converged on Latem because of its beauty. In this pastoral environment were born a great many attractive works that could not have been originated in any city. The artworks on show during BRAFA 2020 will mainly be divided in two thematic sections: Symbolism and Expressionism (1890-1930). The collection of Galerie Oscar De Vos for the 65th BRAFA edition will mark this period as part of the flow of art history. The focus will be on artworks of an important provenance, being fresh on the art market and that have been exhibited in international art institutions, such as Venice Art Biennale, Amsterdam Stedelijk Museum, Eindhoven Van Abbe Museum, Hamburg Kunsthaus, London Royal Academy of Arts, Maastricht Bonnefanten Museum, Sao Paolo Museo de Arta Moderna. -
Press Release Brafa 2018
PRESS RELEASE BRAFA 2018 Galerie Oscar De Vos is pleased to announce the selected artworks for BRAFA 2018 at Tour & Taxis, Brussels. The exhibition focuses on quality works of MODERN BELGIAN ART FROM ABOUT 1890-1930. More than 40 oil paintings and a fine selection of works on paper and sculptures (marble , bronze, plaster) will expose the wide-ranging art of the Latem School is the collection will show how radically the art movements in Belgian, and even internationally, have been changed in such a short time period. Most of the artworks belonged to private collections and these artworks will be – even for the first time – on show during BRAFA 2018 since decades. Special attention is given to: Kneeling youth (1896) with gold leaf patina by George Minne Nasturtiums (1901) by Emile Claus Rest after the haymaking (1902) by Emile Claus Spring morning in Wales (1920) by Valerius De Saedeleer Wrapped up peasant (1910) by Gustave Van de Woestyne Playing boy in the snow (1918) by Frits Van den Berghe The lumberman (1930) by Gust. De Smet and the magnum opus of Frits Van den Berghe: The companions (1932). These paintings have been exhibited in major international museums, among others in Antwerp, Brussels, Ghent, Leningrad, Moscow, Oslo, Stockholm and Tokyo. Museum catalogues, scientific publications and articles illustrate and confirm the importance of these artworks in specific and the Latem School artists in general. These Belgian avant-garde artists were protagonists of international art movements such as Impressionism, Symbolism, Expressionism and Surrealism. Over the last fifty years, Galerie Oscar De Vos has established its name in this specialized domain, contributing to international museum exhibitions and publications, and participating in international art fairs. -

OSCARDEVOS . BE George Minne (Ghent 1866 – 1941 Sint-Martens-Latem) De verloren zoon [The Prodigal Son] 1896 Bronze 58 x 33 x 16 cm Signed: G. Minne Like many other artists of his time, George Minne finds his inspiration in medieval art. The purity of his work is reminiscence of the religious and spiritual creations of Gothic sculpture. Minne realises this purity and simplicity by removing the narrative context from the work. His themes are often personalised by mother and child, but in this case by father and son. De Prodigal Son was borrowed from a parable in the New Testament in which a son returns to demand his inheritance from his still living father. The son squanders the money on his sinful and meaningless life. When all the money is gone, he is forced to take a job. At that moment, the son comes to his senses and decides to return home and ask forgiveness of his father. Instead of punishing him, the father welcomes him home and they celebrate his return. The unconditional love between parent and child in this story has been a source of inspiration for many artists. In this sculpture, Minne carves the father’s face, especially the eyes, in sharp lines. His expression is moving and intensely emotional. -

Artist description:: It is a strange twist of fate that the Patershol neighbourhood repeatedly played a decisive role in the development of painting in the region of the Leie. In the 1890s, it was the meeting place for the most important members of the so-called first Latem group: Minne, Van de Woestyne, De Saedeleer, de Praetere. In 1906, it appeared that history had repeated itself. In 1906-in the same neighbourhood-the foundations of the second group were laid: academy students Permeke, De Smet and Van den Berghe exchanged thoughts and worked on their future. -
Belgian Art at Its Finest - Francis Maere Fine Arts at BRAFA 2020
Belgian Art at its Finest - Francis Maere Fine Arts at BRAFA 2020 January 17, 2020 Angie Kordic Passionate about art, frequent visitor of exhibitions, Widewalls photography specialist and Editor-in-Chief. If you are looking for a gallery excelling at Belgian art spanning some of the most important decades of its production, then Francis Maere Fine Arts is the right place for you. Founded in 1995, the gallery is focused on artworks and artists from 1880 until 1950 (but is including some contemporary tendencies as well), including movements such as Impressionism, Luminism, Symbolism, Expressionism and Surrealism. Since 2011, you can find Francis Maere Fine Arts in a new space in Ghent, on the first floor of Hotel Falligan, a simply thriving environment for the art of such quality. But Francis Maere isn’t “just” a gallerist. He is also an active member of ROCAD, the Royal Chamber of Art Dealers Belgium, valued for his experience, as well as the Vice-Chairman of BRAFA, one of the most important in the country, and in Europe. It is because of BRAFA that we sat down with Mr. Maere, to discuss his gallery’s participation in the 2020 edition of the prestigious fair, but we also picked his brains on Belgian art at large, and its market.

Na 50 meter wanen we ons midden in een 'pastorale', de landelijke eenvoud van Deurle met de twee oude cafés, de kerk en het kerkhof, de boomgaard, de winkel en de pastorie. De kerk van Deurle dateert in zijn oorspronkelijke vorm waarschijnlijk uit de elfde eeuw. De oudste vermelding vinden wij in een privilege uit 1121, als de kerk onder patronaat van de St.-Baafsabdij wordt gesteld. in de negentiende eeuw is het oude gebouw naar het oosten aanzienlijk uitgebreid (1855). 1980 en 1986 werd de kerk grondig gerestaureerd.

For Belgium, this means liberation from just over four years of German occupation. The idea of creating a new world haunted young Germans—just as much as it did the young Belgian generation—and their eyes now turned toward Germany and its young capital, Berlin. The current exhibition, which is part of commemorations for the Great War, focuses more specifically on the period when the metropolis of Berlin was seen as a symbol for renewal, and on a post- war era where “everything seemed possible”.
