FROCK Gallery presents new exhibition at the KIOSK

FROCK GALLERY is a gallery for contemporary national and international art, founded in 2019 by couple Annelies Deltour and artist Matthew J. Frock. The gallery is located in the historic city centre of Ypres. Each exhibition is the result of an intense collaboration between the gallery and the artist.

From 7 June to 26 July 2024, world-renowned Polish artist and designer Oskar Zieta and Belgian painter and sculptor Thibo Moreels will share the gallery for an otherworldly exhibition. A teaser of the expo can be seen this month at KIOSK in Kortrijk, in collaboration with designer Benjamin Pattin of Lauwe. Frock Gallery and Benjamin Pattin met last year at the WONDER Creativity Festival in Kortrijk, where they both exhibited. Since then, they have worked together several times.

The eye-catcher in their KIOSK presentation is the design of Oskar Zieta, world-famous for his steel products inflated into balloon shapes. His sculptures have strong roots in the futurist movement of the early 1900s. However, Oskar's artworks are extremely contemporary and feel like they come from our own future. His functional forms vary, but can range from mirrors to tables and chairs. Oskar's work fits into modern architecture as well as more traditional buildings, elevating the space with its elevated design.

Oskar's sculpture is combined here with the work of Benjamin Pattin. Benjamin surprises with his complexless objects where attention to material and colour share first place together. With cheerful elbow strikes, he makes room on the Belgian design scene for objects with cheeky humour and the necessary savoir-faire.

All are welcome to attend the exhibition's vernissage at the Ypres gallery on Friday 7 June between 6pm and 9pm.

Meet the artists and enjoy live music and drinks!
