The title of this exhibition, Paved Flowers, refers to the very first work Liesbeth Henderickx made for the gallery, then still under the care of Marion De Cannière.
This work reinterpreted a street scene; it consisted of a sculptural intervention in which a symbiosis took place between two entities that usually meet in that place.
The organically growing between the industrially manufactured. The encounter was shaped with the intimacy characteristic of an interior design.
For this group exhibition, Liesbeth Henderickx, in consultation with FRED&FERRY, invited a number of artists and selected specific works that present natural elements or processes guided by the human hand.
The selected artists work with a reinterpretation of the natural landscape or elements from it, bringing them to life in a personal way in their work. They create new forms of liveliness, often closely linked to their own desires or body. In some works, beauty comes from bringing lifeless matter to life.
Although not all works refer directly to living matter, they still carry qualities of anima, or have emerged from a process of material growth.
