Museum Dhondt-Dhaenens
10th Biennial of Painting
Curated by Anne Pontégnie
28/06/26—18/10/26
The 10th edition of the Biennial of Painting at Museum Dhondt-Dhaenens explores how and why artists expand what painting can be. Textile, ceramic, glass, wax, plastic, beads and stone are among the materials artists use to escape the modern pictorial space and its correlated notions of autonomy and separation. Every artist in the exhibition speaks a different visual language, yet each tells a story of belonging: to a territory, a culture, a heritage, a family or a community.
These questions have long been present in the Leie River region, where artists have drawn on international styles to speak about regional realities. The exhibition is conceived as a celebration of a global conversation between artistic languages that deepen, rather than erase, their differences and origins.
