BERNARD VILLERS
The intimate consciousness of time brings together six artists whose work is characterized by temporality and who use
the notion of time either as an integral part of their creative process or as a perception mechanism.
In the gallery window, Athina Ioannou’s Large Hanging Paintings link those two paths in a subtle and complex way. In
her minimal compositions, the artist soaks colored fabric in linseed oil, without adding any pigment, and the oil slowly
penetrates and saturates the textiles. She thus initiates a progressive transfiguration of her chosen materials, which
affects their texture, opacity, colors and smell. The notion of duration is present at the inception of her process, when
the main transformation occurs, but the chemical dialogue between fabric and linseed oil will also continue through
the years, slowly and almost imperceptibly.
Bernard Villers’ series Iris descend uses the properties of “Interference colors”, which react to the direction and
strength of light waves, to create an always-changing iridescent effect. Combining gesso, a base color and interference
pigments, his paintings are an invitation to move around the works in order to apprehend their joyful plurality. As it is
often the case in his practice, Bernard Villers transcends the physical boundaries of his paintings and prolongs their
impact through an extended space – and time – of discovery.
The work 2014 in 2019 by Guillermo Mora, formed by an overlap of several layers of painted papers, hides a drawing
from the artist’s past. This piece does not only work as an image in and of itself, but also serves as a container for other
images. Guillermo Mora develops a pictorial structure in which two temporal realities intertwine and coexist, as if the
painting contained a secretive time capsule. The intruding fragment, set apart by a different color and texture, appeals
to our curiosity and uses the past to evoke the idea of unexplored potentiality.
In the series 60 jours d’été, Stijn Cole captures the changing light of sixty different sunsets. His “timescapes” compress
dozens of shots of a fixed point, taken between 7pm and midnight, in an abstract result that is as much a panorama
as it is a chronological timeline. The horizon bisects the image – above it, the skies display delicate hues of brilliant
blue, wooly grey, deep burgundy or charcoal black. Below it, the earth slowly welcomes the shadows of night. These
works, created as a tribute to Marthe Wéry’s Sixty days of work, use recurrence as a structuring process while retaining
an almost lyrical quality, evoking the Impressionist’s pursuit of a way to immortalize the fleeting perception of light.
The notion of recurrence also runs deep in Gudny Rosa Ingimarsdottir’s work. The artist uses recurring patterns through
the years; shapes and sentences cycle through her body of work, jumping from a medium to another, creating echoes
and semantic reverberations. Sometimes, she literally recycles fragments of her own work, removing them from an
existing composition to revise them and place them in a new one. Gudny Rosa Ingimarsdottir’s practice shows that,
knowingly or unconsciously, past and present are irrevocably connected and in constant dialogue. Her work process is
methodical and meditative, some materials lying in wait for years in the studio before slowly coming together.
Gauthier Hubert’s practice is characterized by a similar relationship with time. His works often originate from the idea
of a title, which is written in a notebook or on the wall of the studio and matures through a varying waiting period
before taking shape on the canvas. In Peinture du dimanche peinte uniquement les dimanches sauf le fond, the artist
humorously invites us to reflect on the classification and appraisal of works of art – genre painting and hobbyist
painting (or “peinture du dimanche”) hold a special interest for him. This exploration is at the same time made more
playful and deepened by the use of time as a performative device set at the heart of the creative process.

Athina Ioannou, Exhibition view of Resituations at Chapelle des Penitents (FR), 2010
Born in 1968 in Athens (GR)
lives and works in Düsseldorf (DE)
Ioannou’s artistic production consists of pictorial and minimalist interventions linked to a dialogue with the space and
architecture that support them, as well as with the context of the site of exhibition. Ioannou observes the environment
deeply, establishing links with its materials and its inhabitants, collecting objects of local provenance which result in
compositions that question the space and give it a new lecture.
The artist usually works with textiles - common or precious - cutting them in different forms and soaking them in
linseed oil, sometimes tracing vertical graphite lines on the material. The oil enhances the physical qualities of the
fabric, intensifies the colours and makes the painted surface transparent. Due to the manual repetition of certain
resources, Athina Ioannou’s work shows similar - but never identical - visual results, through which the artists searches
aesthetic satiety through a deep exploration of the same subject. Ioannou’s work is the result of perseverance and of a
prolonged search, which, with a consistent style, explores themes such as rhythm, transparency, light, movement and
creates compositions that reveal themselves little by little.
Athina Ioannou studied painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome and the Art Academy of Düsseldorf, under the
tutelage of Jannis Kounellis and Daniel Buren. She has participated in individual and collective international exhibitions,
among which we can highlight : The song of Nightingale, Insel Hombroich foundation, Neuss (DE), Who is afraid of the
walls, The Benaki Museum of Islamic Art, Athens (GR), L’emprise du lieu curated by Daniel Buren in Dommaine Pommery,

Bernard Villers, view of his Studio, Brussels (BE)
Born in 1939 in Brussels (BE)
Lives and works in Brussels (BE)
After training in monumental painting at the École nationale supérieure des Arts visuels of La Cambre with Paul
Delvaux and Jo Delahaut, Bernard Villers developed his pictorial research and became a leading figure of the Belgian art
scene. His sensitive and innovative approach was celebrated in a retrospective exhibition at the Botanique art center
(Brussels, BE) in 2018.
Bernard Villers’ practice questions the traditional relationship between support and color, revealing a true symbiotic
interaction and fostering an equal dialogue between those two essential elements. He diverts the viewer’s expectations
by proposing chromatic interventions that are direct and minimal without being devoid of emotion: the beauty of
everyday life reveals itself in the subtle imperfections of the artist’s lines.
His artworks are present in the collections of FRAC Bretagne, Rennes (FR), Bibliothèque Nationale de France, Paris (FR),
Musées Royaux des Beaux-Arts, Brussels (BE), Centre de la Gravure, La Louvière (BE), Fondation Gordon Matta-Clark,
Antwerp (BE), Collection FWB, Brussels (BE), Musée d’Ixelles, Brussels (BE), Musée royal de Mariemont, Morlanwelz
(BE), Serralves, Porto (PT), Werserburg Museum, Bremen (DE), among others.

Born in 1980 in Madrid (SP)
Lives and works Madrid (SP)
Guillermo Mora has cultivated a unique visual vocabulary, creating an abstract mode of communication. Mora’s stimulating
compositions construct environments through which the artist questions protocols and procedures of contemporary
painting. His work is focused on three concepts: overlapping, concealment and disappearance in painting. Through his
practice, Mora conducts research about hidden paintings, paintings that hide other paintings, paintings that hide their
processes, processes that hide painting, veiled images and paintings that history has hidden with time.
Guillermo Mora received a BFA from the Complutense University of Madrid and The School of The Art Institute of
Chicago, and completed his PhD thanks to a grant from La Caixa Foundation. The artist was featured in 100 Painters
of Tomorrow by Thames & Hudson, awarded the Audemars Piguet Award in 2014 and the Generación 2013 Prize, and
received the Residence grant in Casa Wabi (MX) a scholarship at the International Studio & Curatorial Program in New
York (US) in 2016 and a fellowship from the Spanish Academy in Rome (IT) in 2010–2011.

Born in 1978 in Ghent (BE)
Lives and works in Chimay (BE)
The relation between the object and its surroundings is central in Stijn Cole’s work. Light, not the medium, is crucial
here, since the way we experience color and form is to a great extent determined by the intensity of the light they are
subjected to. Stijn Cole is constantly bringing this knowledge into play when creating his installations and other works.
He always reduces his images to their purest essence. His choice of media is eclectic: there’s video as well as sculpture,
painting and mixed media, photography, and graphics and besides abstract work, he also creates figurative art. And yet
his oeuvre demonstrates great coherence.
In Stijn Cole’s universe, themes like time and landscape painting are endowed with a renewed beauty that translates
into a contemporary version of impressionism. Each new series of Stijn Cole’s works is connected with a specific period,
walk, or journey, which gives it an almost documentary quality. Stijn Cole describes his contribution as modest, just a
filter he puts on reality. But with the utmost precision and subtlety, he challenges the viewer to take on an active role.
In this manipulative game, he entices the viewer to engage in an experience of intensity, space, and shape that will
time and time again prove to be surprising. His newest works increasingly take the shape of installations, landscapes
created by Stijn Cole that the audience is invited to wander around in.

Born 1969 Reykjavik (IS)
Lives and works in Brussels (BE)
Gudny Rosa Ingimarsdottir was born in 1969 in Reykjavik, Iceland. She studied at the Icelandic College of Art and Crafts
in Reykjavik, in the early 90s and then at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Arts Visuels de La Cambre in Brussels,
from 1994 to 1997. She finished her education at the HISK – Hoger Institute of Fine Arts in Flanders, from 2001 to 2004.
Today, she lives and works in Brussels, while still being active in the Icelandic art scene.
Gudny Rosa Ingimarsdottir works with paper, thread and various water dissolvable materials. The artist produces
drawings and paintings made up of several layers, which she cuts, peels or carves, before or after assembling them,
aiming to get closer to the essence of creation. Each of these unique pieces has its own geometric structure and exists
on the border between abstract and figurative. The work builds itself slowly, sometimes taking years; each line traced
or erased has equal value, the remaining elements have the same strength as those removed. Her compositions convey
rhythm and silence. Her methodical and meditative work process that takes place inside her studio extends into the
exhibition areas, transforming them into breathing spaces.
The artist has been invited by numerous institutions in Iceland and in Europe, including solo shows at the National
Gallery of Iceland in 2008, the Hafnarborg Art Center (IS) in 2019 and at Iselp in Brussels (BE) in 2020. She received the
Gudmunda S. Kristinsdóttir Art Fund grant in 2013.
Her works are included in the collection of the Frac Picardie of Amiens, as well as in the Centre national des arts
plastiques, in Paris (FR). Other international public collections include the Djurhuus Collection Copenhagen (DK), the
National Gallery of Iceland (IS), the Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles (BE), as well as the Galila Barzilai Foundation (BE).

Born in 1967 in Brussels (BE)
Lives and works in Brussels (BE)
Gauthier Hubert’s painting is enigmatic in many respects – while his technique itself is characterized by a timeless
and meticulous quality, the rest of his approach has a resolutely contemporary style. It shows solid swathes of
vibrant colours, combined with shapes charachterized by an unsettling strangeness and a steady fascination with
ugliness, which immediately draws the eye.
Language is essential in Gauthier Hubert’s works; the title frames the pictorial subject or precedes it, in a constant
back and forth between text and image. The title is a primary element of the work, and creates a constant back and
forth between word and image. Situated in a satirical dialogue with art and history, Gauthier Hubert’s paintings are
extremely referenced, interspersing their composition with clues, jokes and visual puns. The treatment and choice of
subject often lead to a deeper examination of the pictorial discipline - for Gauthier Hubert, painting is a pretext to talk
about painting.
Born in 1967 in Brussels, Gauthier Hubert won the « Prix de la jeune peinture belge » in 1999 and has since shown his
work in international group and solo shows. We can mention several exhibitions in the Musée d’Ixelles and La Maison
Particulière in Brussels (BE), the National Portrait Gallery of London and of Edinburgh (UK), and a solo show at the
National Gallery of Iceland in Reykjavík (IS). In September 2020, the Botanique museum (BE) will present a large-scale
retrospective exhibition of his work.
