Opening exhibition space from April 16th to October 16th 2016. EXTENDED TO 18 DEC. 2016

Twenty-five years after he first started painting in Borgerhout (Antwerp), Sam Dillemans has had an old industrial building renovated near his atelier in order to use it as an exhibition space for his works on a regular basis.

His unconventional artistic career, unaffected by compelling trends, has acquired a unique position in the contemporary Belgian art world, also through a number of successful exhibitions in Belgium and abroad.

Due to popular demand, Sam has agreed to create an opportunity for his fans to be able to enjoy his authentic art on a permanent basis. For the realisation of this initiative, he could rely on enthusiastic support of his entourage.

The idea is to organise regular long-running exhibitions of his work from two different angles: on the one hand, to show the oeuvre that represent different artistic periods in Dillemans' career; on the other, to unveil recent topic-based works.

The paintings and graphics of Sam Dillemans have been grouped chronologically in the art book TENTOONSTELLINGSRUIMTE SAM DILLEMANS, with a foreword by David Van Reybrouck, published by DRIEMANTEAU. The book is available at the exhibition space and better bookstores.
