Art walk in the outskirts of Ghent

In his artistic exploration, Jo translates a physical desire into an abstract image. For the composition of his works, he starts from (retro) pornographic photos. More specifically, he is inspired by body shapes and colors. This results in a unique visual language and recognizable color palette.

Artist-run Space De Verffabriek is a new hub for art and gathering in Mariakerke, a space for artistic development, experimentation, socializing, and presentation opportunities.

During his graphic design studies, Peter became interested in the communicative power of informative illustrations through strong concepts and processes that are first hand-drawn in a Moleskine sketchbook and then digitized on a computer.

Studio Rodeberg is a project by the artist couple Jan De Proost and Veerle Verbeke. You can also find the work of Maarten Marchau there.

Nicolas his work is about transformation. Transformation of meaning and image through the process of cutting and reassembling, transformation of the support and change of scale when paper collage becomes painting. 

Marianne's work defies categorization; she paints, photographs, creates installations, video projects... and manages to emphasize her own vision in her pieces.

Deborah is also active as a teacher in part-time art education; she mainly draws and paints domestic scenes and portraits. Sometimes on exceptionally large scales, considering the fragile nature of watercolor as a medium, she captures the power of vulnerability in her artwork.

Jan: "I try not to create an illusion in my work; the material is the actual work, it's naked and raw, often evolving through exploration, repetition, pushing boundaries, going too far, excess, impulsivity."
