For Kortrijk Art Weekend 2026, Atelier Verbeke presents “Splash — Exhibition on Water and Art”.
Four artists from different disciplines come together in an exhibition exploring water — refreshing, purifying, and full of movement. Water symbolizes change and the moment when you take the leap.
David Carpentier presents photographic images of swimming pools, sometimes captured by drone, where stillness and geometry meet. Monica Celsi, from Chile, uses swimmers as a metaphor for crossing and transition, inspired by her own journeys across the ocean. Veerle De Vos gives her “plump ladies” and “men with binoculars” a cheerful, joyful presence that makes you smile and look forward. In his marble sculptures, Luc Verbeke evokes water as a primordial element and source of all life.
Together, these works invite us to reflect on water — as a mirror, as movement, and as a beginning.
