SUMMARY:Exhibition Opening: La Residenza by Laurent Reypens
DESCRIPTION:H.E. Mr Jeroen Cooreman\, Ambassador of Belgium to the United Kingdom\, has the pleasure of inviting BLCC members to the opening of the exhibition La Residenza by Belgian artist Laurent Reypens. \nTaking place at the Ambassador’s Residence in London on Thursday\, 14 May 2026\, this special evening offers a unique opportunity to discover the work of a leading contemporary Belgian artist in an exceptional setting. \nAbout the Exhibition\nLaurent Reypens is known for his paintings and sculptures in bronze and glass\, characterised by a distinctive visual language built around repetition\, abstraction\, and balance. \nThroughout his career\, Reypens has explored the motif of the “Bowl” from the Belgian ceramics company Royal Boch. Through variations in positioning and composition\, he creates works that evoke tranquillity\, movement\, and subtle narrative. The repetition of this form lends his work both dynamism and a refined sense of abstraction. His monochrome paintings and sculptural pieces are often displayed within architectural spaces of character. La Residenza reflects this approach\, bringing together art\, heritage\, and setting within the historic Belgian Residence in London. \nThe artist will be present at the opening. \nIf you are unable to attend the official opening event but still wish to view the exhibition\, please click here to view the exhibition information. \nRSVP\nPlease confirm your presence by 10 May 2026 by contacting:\nann.willems@diplobel.fed.be
