PAUL WALKER EXHIBITION / ALICE GALLERY
Since I’m on a marathon of posting old news (string of my last posts all actually occurred more than a year ago), why not another old story.
Beginning this year, Mattie and I had to go to Brussels to visit the French embassy for my visa related appointment (well, that is another adventure story!). After this boring but very important appointment, we visited Alice Gallery. I followed this gallery for some time now as some of my favorite artists have exhibited there (Atelier Pica Pica, Steve Powers, Todd James, Erosie). Also during this time, I knew Paul Wakers was exhibiting. Even though the gallery was closed on the day we were in town, Alice opened the gallery for us.
Paul Wackers is a painter from NY. I don’t know where or when I first encountered his paintings, but I instantly fell in love with his shelf-like composition – full of plants, vases, weird sculptures. Chaos contained between straight lines.
I felt fortunate to see the paintings up closed. There are so many interesting textures, layers, thickness, mediums which I missed from only looking at pictures of his paintings.
You can look at more of his works on his website or instagram. And follow Alice from Alice Gallery here.
