Guy Vandenbranden

A special exhibition in the print rooms of the KMSKA exploring the rich evolution of Belgian constructivist Guy Vandenbranden, from his early abstraction to monochrome canvases and experiments with lacquer paint. About The work of Guy Vandenbranden (1926–2014) will be the focus of a special exhibition in the print rooms of the KMSKA. Visitors will discover the rich evolution of this Belgian constructivist, from his early transition from figuration to abstraction, inspired by Klee, Mondrian and Vasarely, to his powerful monochrome canvases, sculptures and later, more colourful experiments with lacquer paint. The exhibition highlights not only Vandenbranden's artistic innovation, but also his close ties with international avant-garde groups such as Art Abstrait, Formes and the Zero movement. His friendships with Jef Verheyen, Lucio Fontana, Piero Manzoni and Francois Morellet, among others, were decisive for his oeuvre and placed him in a broad international network.
