At Art Antwerp 2025, galerie burster presents three artistic positions that deal with material, space and perception. Their interplay creates a multi-layered panorama that allows visitors to experience tension, movement and the poetic power of the in-between.
Bram Braam (born 1980, NL) has developed a current style shaped by his return from Berlin to a rural area near his hometown on the German-Dutch border. Urban elements, such as architectural fragments, structural surfaces, or traces of graffiti, remain present, yet are increasingly interwoven with natural forms, intuitive gestures, and landscape-inspired references. His works consciously operate in the tension between construction and dissolution, city and nature, order and chaos. From these contrasts, Braam develops a distinctive “in-between,” in which earlier utopias now appear only as faint echoes, condensed into a layered, contemporary visual language.
Evelina Reiter (born 1998, RU) combines precise urban observation with an open and powerful painterly language. With a keen sense of line, color, and dynamics, she captures fleeting movements and everyday moments of city life, oscillating between stability and uncertainty. Her figures move confidently within a tension of risk, chance, and initiative, while fragments of text introduce additional emotional layers. By moving beyond the male-dominated cityscapes of earlier artistic movements, she creates a contemporary counterpart: a feminist kaleidoscope of urban experiences and raw emotion.
Andreas Blank (born 1976, DE) combines abstract, figurative, conceptual, and craft-based approaches in his sculptures. Using rare stones collected from around the world, he shapes stylized or strikingly realistic everyday objects, transforming the ordinary into the monumental. His works question perception, traditional values, and the relationship between materiality and meaning. Through the deliberate tension between fragile quotidian forms and heavy, enduring substances, Blank invites viewers to see the familiar with fresh eyes and to recognize the poetic potential of the everyday.
