Athos Burez

As part of 'Antwerp Baroque 2018: Rubens as an inspiration', the MAS will be welcoming the photographer and artist Athos Burez to the boulevard as from 1 June 2018. With 80 images and installations, he shares his own unique and contemporary view on different genres from the style period: still lifes, portraits, landscapes and interiors. Burez' work is characterised by an almost surrealist view of familiar images, often giving the impression that his photographs float between two worlds. In this exhibition, he joins old Baroque aspects with elements of contemporary imagery by means of an often contrasting approach. As a result, a completely new and unique Baroque image culture arises where the abundance and diversity of the period is tangible yet everything seamlessly comes together as if in a collage. It is the first time that Athos' work will be exhibited in a solo exhibition in Antwerp. Exhibition: MAS, Antwerp, Belgium (01.06.2018 - 31.03.2019).
