PRESENTED BY GALLERY SOFIE VAN DE VELDE:

Gallery Sofie Van de Velde, located in two areas in Antwerp, stands for entrepreneurship in art. Through the participation in art fairs and exhibitions, the gallery focuses on representing artists in a strong international network. Together with the artist, strategies are defined to bring the body of work to a new level. Moving away from a conventional competition-minded gallery model, Sofie Van de Velde’s philosophy is one of collaboration and shared opportunities and networks.

The location at Nieuw Zuid, which is shared with PLUS-ONE Gallery, presents a strong and diverse exhibition program. Both galleries share not only a physical space but also a philosophy, believing in a positive and transparent attitude of collaboration while maintaining their own perspective on artistic choices. As one of the first galleries to settle in this new neighborhood, Gallery Sofie Van de Velde also seeks opportunities for the integration of more art in Nieuw Zuid.

In 2020, the gallery opened a second location in Antwerp South, which is dedicated to solo exhibitions by Belgian and international artists. This gallery operates as an alternating exhibition space with PLUS-ONE Gallery, allowing for a diverse and dynamic curatorial program.

Description

S., 2022
48 x 40 cm
olieverf op hout

Het schilderij S. herinnert op het eerste zicht aan Betty, een portret dat Gerhard
Richter in 1988 maakte van zijn dochter. Het iconische bloemen truitje is echter
enkel herkenbaar door een blauwe onderschildering en het kapsel verschilt van
het oorspronkelijke beeld. Sarah De Vos speelt aan de hand van deze referentie in
op haar positionering binnen de (hedendaagse) kunstgeschiedenis en stelt
tegelijkertijd vragen over authenticiteit, media manipulatie en auteursrecht.
