This is a tiny kitten I found in a street in Braives, Belgium. He was totally lost and scared. With a little help, he finally got back to his family safely... On the picture, I tried to give the baby a huge presence (emphasizing the eyes' expression) and make him look even more fragile... but still willing to survive.

Andy Warhol

.
This is my portrait of the famous American Pop artist.
The hole in his torso symbolizes the way he survived
from an attempted assassination in 1968. Warhol was
seriously wounded by the attack and barely survived.
He suffered physical effects for the rest of his life. The
shooting had a profound effect on Warhol's life and art.

"Art Brussels"
Contemporary Art Fair
Photo Report

"Artbrussels" is a contemporary art fair happening every year in Belgium. I was there for the 27th edition and made this little photo report. Considering the huge amount of artworks that were exhibited, this represents only a little insight of what I saw. For more information on the exhibitors and artists, please visit Artbrussels' official site: www.artbrussels.be

Every year in April, Artbrussels opens its doors and welcomes more than 30 000 professionals, collectors and art lovers from all over the world. Artbrussels is the European platform for upcoming talents in the field of contemporary art and focuses as well on strong established galleries representing a selection of their highest-quality paintings, sculptures, photography, video and installations.

Artbrussels attracts art enthusiasts, including a considerable number of art collectors, critics, journalists, curators and other decision makers; one in five visitors comes from outside Belgium. A VIP Privilege programme welcomes over 300 collectors from throughout the world, treating them to free overnight accommodation and a stimulating off-programme.

Artbrussels offers a strong selection of 172 galleries, nominated in accordance with a rigorous quality-based selection procedure. The international selection committee places particular emphasis on the work of young creatives in contemporary art. The fair has a most international profile, with 80% of its participants coming from over 20 countries.

The major part of the fair is dedicated to numerous established art galleries with both international profiles and programmes.
