How to position yourself as an emerging artist? - A note from Seppe De Roo

“I see myself as an artist-entrepreneur. I want to spread my connections, and experience everything that encompasses my artistic expression. From creating paintings and sculptures, to sharing my painterly knowledge, to organising and producing this expo that brings together the works of 15 diverse, young artists.”

“When I think about the ancient tale of destruction that is the Apocalypse, and how it pops up again and again in different times and cultures -, it brings me a sense of trust in our power of rebirth. What makes us human is our power to adapt, to reshape our narrative.”

“It is how I see this expo, as a collective narrative that I carefully wove together, as a composition created in the same state of mind as when I create my paintings - with an openness to the not-knowing, to dreams and intuition, and with a sense of trust.”

“There is no team behind the scènes of this production, no gallery, institute, or museum, just the spirit of enterprise and artistic creation. I hope this spirit, together with the works of the presented artists, manages to seduce your own imagination, to make you wonder what kind of world we will pull up from the ruins of this Apocalypse. ”
