If art is knowledge, should knowledge also be art?
This is the question raised by Locuslux Gallery with current exhibition of Pascal Danz. This exhibition is a prelude to a project on painting in collaboration with museums.
A painter can draw upon a source in which anything is possible: every imaginable image, all imaginable illusions, in an all-encompassing way. Painting probably began here by representing our lives as ideally as possible.
With Danz's work one can feel an affinity the truth of our lives as for danz there's no question of idealism of romanticism. In his work, humanity is not in tune with its environnement. The viewers look and are immersed in light, not the romantic light but the light of downfall, nuclear explosions and total destruction.
LocusLux Gallery enters its second year considering the painting as a mainstay in its artistic direction and as a proeminant feature of the gallery.
LocusLux also edit a magazine available at the gallery which is located rue du vieux Marché aux Grains 1000 Brussels.
