Expo Luc Verbeke & Mie Bogaerts – Atelier in beeld

An artist with a passion for creations in stone.

Luc Verbeke combines craftsmanship with an artistic vision and explores the limits of sculpture with all kinds of techniques.

Heavy materials such as marble and sandstone translate into light-looking sculptures and raise a complex network of existential questions.

Luc constructs his works very precisely. His installations are designed to remain standing.

For each artwork he makes in the Italian Bianco Carrara marble, Luc chooses the block of marble in the quarry and does the initial or entire carving and sculpting on site.

Artist Mie Bogaerts was born in May '68 in Kortrijk. Almost from that moment, every material she touched and worked with took on a new form. From foil to plasticine, from clay to ceramics, from wax to bronze.

After years of training at the Kortrijk Art Academy, it quickly became clear that the body language of her figures is central to Mie's work. Moreover, these creations usually interact with each other, eliciting emotions. In this way, these creative snapshots bring movement to her work.

In 2024, she created new abstract plastic works, her Micromacroos, which she exhibited for the first time during Atelier in beeld at Atelier Verbeke.
