Karin has been photographing for over thirty years and her work is increasingly evolving towards a crossroads between nature photography and abstract visual art Composition, textures, rhythm, colors and lines, landscapes large or small, far or near, are the cornerstone of the work she presents. Don't expect classic nature images. It is a different way of looking at subjects in nature that can be alienating but seeks to bring to the attention what would otherwise go unnoticed.

Karin De Winter works together and forms a photographic duo with husband Jo Van Rossem.

Karin exhibited at Nobody & Friends in March 2022 and during the summer 2022.

Her third expo at the gallery runs from August 17 through September 3.

Walter Dermul's work is exclusively figurative in oil paint. For the current exhibition a selection was made of paintings about people and their emotions. About their connection, or the other way around, about their isolation. They are works of art with a nostalgic touch, where past and present can touch each other. In which you will find the wisdom of the artist, who, after a career in marketing communications, is now realizing his dream as a full-time painter.

Walter is a guest artist from February 24 to March 30, 2024.

Carlo shows his Mickey collection, which takes a journey through art history. Digital works with a humorous nod to Dali, Vermeer, Fragonard, Degas and Hopper, among others. A stunning example of symbiosis between fiction and artificial intelligence.

Carlo is a guest artist from February 24 to March 30, 2024.

Joran Pollet (1993) graduated from Sint-Lucas Ghent in 2012 and then followed photography for a year (Narafi Brussels). However, it is the one-year course in decorative ironwork (GOCA Ghent) that forms the crucial stepping stone in his artistic development towards what he creates today. At that time Joran is 23 years old. Joran Pollet is a man of few words. His images are all the more powerful.

With hammer and anvil he beats pieces of pure steel into the desired shape. Then he starts welding. Without molds or preliminary studies.

Daniel Derderian's work is a unique cry for love from a safe environment behind the mirror. As a former classical dancer and performer in the world of the performing arts, he previously mainly worked with his appearance. Now he compiles idiosyncratic portraits that try to capture the confusion and vanity of human existence.

Daniel works from an urgency, torn between the moral brake of an adult and the unbounded imagination of a rambunctious child. He wants to keep something unfinished in his work, completion would mean the end of a dynamic.

He wants to capture his subjects in an intimate moment, in search of their strength, their fragility, their fear, their fantasies, as hybrid creatures in a world between reality and dream.

Since his first exhibition at Nobody & Friend in September 2022, Daniel has exhibited solo and in group at Galerie Thomé in Paris where he is now a resident artist and is part of the collective Le Destructuralisme Figuratif with which he exhibited in La Rochelle and Paris.

He works and lives between Montreuil near Paris, Ghent and Marseille, his hometown.

Ingrid Van der Vloedt studied drawing and painting mixed techniques at ABK Mortsel. Her figurative works are executed in oil paint, often supplemented with a graphic accent in charcoal. In recent years, painting has become a true passion.

She works from photos that inspire her, looking for her own composition and color atmosphere. Attracted by images from everyday life, she often uses self-made photos: passers-by, tourists, day trippers.

Her main challenge is to create the atmosphere as expressively as possible.

Steffie Campaert is a young artist (1997) from Essen-Wildert. She has been painting with the theme of 'space' since the COVID-19 period, when the world was suddenly forced to stand still. Steffie realized, like many others, that giving yourself 'space' is actually essential to develop as a person. She shows how she can create that 'space' for herself in an intuitive, abstract way.

Steffie is a guest artist from May 11 to June 16, 2024.

From an early age, Elke Hubens has been fascinated by the essence of human existence. With her work she investigates what connects us as people with ourselves, each other and our environment.

With her Human Landscapes she depicts the story of Elckerlyc. She lets her work bear witness to the traces that pass through these landscapes. She shows the silent strength that emerges from our vulnerability and injuries, the desire for connection versus the need for loneliness, but above all: man as a humble part of a living universe and a reflection of its beautiful but often cruel nature.

Each Hubens' sculptures are unique. She works exclusively with clay, a fragile but powerful primeval material. She loves how it - like life - moves in an eternal cycle: from earth to clay to stoneware and back to earth again. Even after its passage in the kiln, stoneware continues to transform: color, glaze, fracture lines or the play of light transform the image into something new.

As a sculptor, Elke Hubens is largely self-taught, although she took lessons from artists such as Erica Chaffart, Monique Donckers, Miek Sysmans, ... . She is also a copywriter and storyteller, both on paper and on stage, and is the mother of two sons, the youngest of whom was born with Down syndrome.

Paul does not limit himself to one style: after all, a person is multiplicity within himself. Form is always subordinate to content, and must arise during the creative process.

"Creating is like passing on. You open up, become silent; you enter a different level of consciousness. Things are revealed there: placed in you. Images, thoughts, colors. Creating is a spiritual journey for me."

Paul is exhibiting at Nobody&Friends for the third time and is a guest artist from February 24 to March 30.

Nature and infinity have fascinated Jan since childhood. That is why he tries to capture it with his watercolours. "They are pieces of the great puzzle that make up our world. An expression of emotion at the same time. It is a gift to be able to express yourself in image and word." After his art studies in Brussels, he exhibited in Antwerp, Bangkok, Paris, Fountainebleau and Mortsel. He lived in Paris, New York and Bangkok and later on returned to his native Antwerp.

Philip Verhoeven was spoon-fed art from an early age. He grew up in his parents' antique shop and started drawing at a young age.
The discovery of figurative art and his passion for color, graphics, history and music ensure that he develops his own style. His works reflect his positive outlook on life.

Philip's paintings are exhibited in Brooklyn, New York, in London he is represented by Miart Gallery and in Philadelphia by Morton Contemporary. In February 2024 he will be a guest at the Art Wynwood Miami art fair.

Yvette Adriaens enjoys an aesthetic experience by photographing everything that is different, deviating from the prevailing norm, and then painting harmoniously.

This occurrence fascinates her and takes root deep within herself.

The beauty of the unknown, the unwanted in her abstract works invites you to contemplate, which appeals to everyone's imagination
