Wery & Engels

CCNOA Center for Contemporary Non-Objective Art, Bruxelles

CCNOA is pleased to announce the solo exhibitions of Marthe Wéry (B) and Ludo Engels (B). While Wéry will present a selection of wall and floor works in the main galleries, Engels will conceive a light installation for the project room. Continuing our series of exhibition essays, Alice Evermore on CCNOA, a new text by Evermore will accompany these exhibitions.

Simultaneously the Palais des Beaux-Arts, Paleis voor Schone Kunsten, Brussels will organize an extensive exhibition of Marthe Wéry's oeuvre: 29 June - 16 September 2001.

Marthe Wéry
For more than three decades the discovery of "the essential through the minimal", the pleasure of painting, the ever-renewed experience of brush stroke, materials and color, have been central to Wéry's practice:
"In her oeuvre, color is an essential element in shaping the surrounding world into a decipherable form that penetrates the space in the sense of an intentional 'positioning' of building blocks which generate an inherent and inseparable physical relationship with the viewer." (Luk Lambrecht)
Her constantly evolving work, ranging from the geometric compositions of the '60s through the lined and monochrome works to the smooth light-absorbing multipartite installations and her current research into surface, has become one extensive and careful search for subtle balance between architecture, space, art and color. Wéry's exhibitions at the Palais des Beaux-Arts > Paleis voor Schone Kunsten and at CCNOA evidence not only the candor and amplitude of her oeuvre but also the artist's inspiring independence from the vogues and vanities of the 'art world'.

Ludo Engels
Since the early ‘80’s Engels has worked as an improvising musician, developing skills that he later onto applied to his artistic practice, which includes music, audio-visual installations and photography.
‘Ludo Engels wants to attain the essence of things. He projects on a translucent screen. When I enter the room I see a, diagonally floating, and out of focus, unrecognizable, pastel-like image, slowly evolving into the next unclear shape. I know that these are photographic images and that something must have been a model for these slides, but now there are only vague organic forms left.’ (Zjuul Devens)

The exhibitions are made possible with the generous support of the artists, the CCNOAFriends & Members, and the Vlaamse Gemeenschapscommisie van het Brussels Hoofdstedelijk Gewest.
