Expositie Lustwarande
Since 2000, Lustwarande has invited many internationally renowned artists and young talents. This year, they will be exploring the theme of "Arbos." Get inspired by their figurative and abstract sculptures. The participating artists are:
Gerbrand Burger (NL) - Gesine Grundmann (DE) - Roman Gysin (CH) - Abul Hisham (IN) - Milda Lembertaitė (LT) - Bart Lunenburg (NL) - Henrique Oliveira (BR)- Maria Roosen (NL) - Elmo Vermijs (NL) - Tatiana Wolska (PL)
Curator: Chris Driessen, artistic director Lustwarande
Arbos
The fourteenth edition of Lustwarande focuses exclusively on the use of wood in contemporary sculpture, a fundamental material in art for centuries. This takes place amidst the trees, emphasizing the essence of De Oude Warande, arbos, derived from the Latin word for trees.
From Tree to Sculpture
Whether you're an avid art enthusiast or simply enjoy a day out in nature, the exhibition has something for everyone. Visit and discover how young, international artists have been given complete artistic freedom to create works that explore themes such as sustainability, identity, and social cohesion.
