English:Esther Verhaeghe (Q164048)

Esther Verhaeghe – art concepts was created in 2013 by its Munich born founder Esther Verhaeghe de Naeyer. Since then, the gallery has been active in Belgium and Germany in the form of a nomadic gallery, taking on the challenge of showing its artists in always different, unusual, and innovative places, and this until 2022. From 2022 onwards the gallery has settled down in Brussels, 3 av. G. Macau – étangs d’Ixelles, to write a new chapter in the gallery’s story.

The gallery is dedicated to contemporary art, from emerging to more established European artists. It has also developed a particular interest in the German art scene and its positions by women artists. On the other hand, the gallery is also committed to promote the young emerging Belgian art scene, giving a voice and a platform to young artists freshly coming out of art school (sometimes even still in art school). Creating innovative dialogues with new voices confronted to more established ones are of special concern to the gallery.

We are part of a challenging world with fast changing paradigms. The artists represented by the gallery reflect and question our society. Themes such as fragility and vulnerability, presence, and absence and how to render the invisible tangible play an important role in their works. Impermanence, movement, and transformation are the red thread of the works by the artists exhibited and defended by us.

As a gallery we believe in the power of poetic images, those that allow us to reconnect with what we feel essential, first in ourselves, and in our relationship to the world around us.
