Tim Van Laere Gallery is pleased to present Bram Demunter's fourth solo show since joining Tim Van Laere Gallery in 2019. In this exhibition, Demunter will present a new series of paintings and drawings, alongside bronze sculptures.
 
Bram Demunter is an artist whose work thrives on the rich interplay between myth, history, and personal narrative. One of the striking features of Demunter's paintings is his ability to use visual motifs to bridge disparate worlds. Figures from classical myth, like gods, heroes, and monsters, may emerge from or interact with the symbols of contemporary life. This dynamic tension creates a sense of dialogue between different epochs and experiences, questioning the linearity of history and offering instead a more fluid, interconnected understanding of human experience. The brushstrokes themselves seem to mirror this complexity. Rich textures and vibrant colors swirl together, creating a sense of movement and energy that suggests both the tumult of ancient battles and the quiet moments of personal introspection. The result is a body of work that feels simultaneously timeless and immediate, steeped in history yet undeniably modern in its concerns. Ultimately, what makes Demunter's approach to storytelling so compelling is his ability to balance the monumental with the intimate. His paintings are not just grand narratives of heroism or tragedy but also spaces where individual emotions and experiences resonate. By blending mythic themes with personal symbolism, he creates works that invite viewers to reflect on their own place within these larger stories, and perhaps even inspire them to find meaning in the untold myths of their own lives.
