Recente Sorry's
Guillaume Bijl
Lumen Travo Gallery is proud to welcome back Belgian surrealist artist Guillaume Bijl for his new solo exhibition, Recente Sorry’s, which will open during the upcoming Amsterdam Art Week 2025.
Guillaume Bijl (Antwerp, 1946) is known for his large-scale installations and visual realism. Since the late 1970s, Bijl has created realistic décors using found objects. In doing so, he played a pioneering role in the resurgence of the ready-made.
In his artistic practice, Bijl can be considered something of an anthropologist who, for once, does not research into the life of exotic overseas cultures, but, instead, operates between Antwerp and New York, Amsterdam and Paris, observing and mimicking our Western existences.
Special opening times during the Amsterdam Art week:
Thursday 22 May, 17:00 – 21:00 (opening night)
Friday 23 May, 12:00 – 18:00
Saturday 24 May, 12:00 – 18:00
Sunday 25 May, 12:00 – 17:00
Art Island 2025
with Razia Barsatie, Dianne Hagen, Reyhan Lál and Jens Pfeifer
At this year’s edition of Art Island, Lumen Travo Gallery brings together a group of artists whose work spans aluminum sculptures, paper editions, video pieces, and evocative installations. Though diverse in form and material, their practices are linked by a shared sensitivity to identity, environment, and the layered complexity of the human experience.
