Ariane van Dievoet and Didier Henry will be presenting their sculptures in a new exhibition called Fusions. The designer and the blacksmith have imagined and created works in brass with a lunar appearance, presented on stone, wood and brass bases. Their joint work is rooted in experimentations and the reuse of materials.
Exhibition : November 18 - December 17 // Thursday-Saturday, 12-5pm
Opening night : Thursday November 17, 5pm - 9pm (upon reservation)
Late openings : November 24, 25 & 26
Ariane van Dievoet is the designer behind AVANDI Studio. She divides her time between her work as a designer, teacher at the CAD and fabmanager in charge of training at Micro Factory. She combines traditional and digital techniques to create objects from reclaimed materials. The reuse of building elements has also guided her renovation of 5 Rue Coppens, where the Fusion pieces will be exhibited.
Didier Henry is developing two main areas of production: the restoration of old ironwork and artistic creation and fabrication at the forge. Trained alongside an old country blacksmith and in the forge of the Academie voor Beeldende Kunsten in Anderlecht, he set up his own metalwork business in 2015. In his workshop in the middle of the Condruzian countryside, he works with steel, brass, stainless steel and aluminium to create custom-made works.
