When a visual artist feels he has become a writer. That’s exactly where ArtistCongratz has to come in. And so should you.
Coming to Belgium this September? Don’t visit the captivating city of Antwerp without stopping by Fred & Ferry gallery to discover these giant “narratives on panel” by Antoine Waterkeyn. Discover yourself what is actually painted and what’s not…
Maybe you might even be as lucky as your editor and get a private exhibition tour by the artist himself🧑🏻🎨 including the story behind his story, called “Ein bisschen Goethe, ein bisschen Bonaparte”. ⬇️
“Abstraction and figuration come together”

Also covered in opaque and iridescent paint and “stripped of their symbolism” they now play a significant part in the narrative of the exposition.
To who might find the name Waterkeyn familiar sounding; yes, your hunch is correct. André Waterkeyn, architect of our national pride; The Atomium🇧🇪, is Antoines great uncle.
Sooner or later, those ties might inspire Antoine for future work. Artistcongratz can’t wait to discover more of this promising young artist who also will be presenting new work at Art Brussels in March 2023.
