Artist Focus: Chun Kwang Young ( (b. 1944, South Korea)

Chun Kwang Young wraps hundreds of small triangular forms in hanji—traditional Korean paper made from mulberry bark—sourced from ancient Korean, Chinese, and Japanese books. These delicate fragments, carrying traces of centuries-old inscriptions, come together in mesmerizing aggregations where harmony emerges from chaos, and the infinitely small connects with collective memory.

Discover his remarkable recent works in the exhibition “Peaux Fragiles “!!

_Exhibition until 05.07.2026
_Open Thursday to Saturday
14:00–18:00 or by appointment

10/06/2026

Artist Focus: Renie Spoelstra (b. 1974, The Netherlands), recipient of the Prix Guerlain 2026.

Travelling to some of the world’s most remote landscapes—from the glaciers of Peru to secluded forests and lakes—Spoelstra gathers impressions that she later transforms in her studio into monumental charcoal drawings.

Her deep blacks and subtle gradations of grey suspend the landscape between presence and disappearance. Through layers of charcoal and acts of erasure, her works evoke what she describes as the intertwined realities of life and loss, inviting viewers into a space where memory, fragility, and nature converge.

Don’t miss the opportunity to discover her works in the exhibition "Peaux Fragiles",
_On view until 5 July 2026.
_Open : Thursday to Saturday  14:00 - 18:00 or by appointment

We are delighted to present "Peaux Fragiles", an exhibition bringing together 16 artists from seven countries, whose practices are as diverse as paper itself., in all its plurality, at the center of an exploration of ephemerality, trace, and vulnerability.

Paper is the skin of the world. It creases, tears, burns, and carries the imprint of gesture and the memory of time. In our societies saturated with digital images and synthetic materials, it embodies a quiet form of resistance: a material that ages, transforms, and eventually disappears.

Join us tomorrow to discover our exhibition!!! 😘

Exhibition: "Là où les formes se répondent"
With Moon-Pil Shim and Erwan Mahéo

_On view until April 26, 2026
_Open Thursday to Saturday, 2–6 PM

Focus Artist: Erwan Mahéo

Erwan Mahéo (b. 1968, France) is a visual artist who lives and works in Brussels. His work explores the creative process and the relationships between architectural space and the space of thought. He creates places or situations, real or virtual, where analogy, memory, history, and dialogue become materials for construction.
Since 2022, Erwan Mahéo has directed the Urban Space studio at La Cambre, École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Visuels in Brussels.
In 2003, he founded the project Le Centre du Monde, an artist residency on Belle-Île-en-Mer (France), whose collection was donated to FRAC Bretagne in 2014. On this occasion, he published the essay Le Centre du Monde (description d’une sculpture invisible).
Since 2012, he has also been leading the editorial project Herman Byrd, in collaboration with photographer Sébastien Reuzé. Herman Byrd is a fictional character—an art enthusiast and publisher—behind a number of experimental publications and newspapers such as Wave IX, Le Morning (distributed in 2016 at the bar Le Night in Bazouge-la-Pérouse), and SWIM (See What I Mean), the newspaper of the sculpture studio at La Cambre (2011–2012).
In 2022, he was awarded the Mondes Nouveaux / France Relance program, for which he created an in situ work, La Sirène, in the former foghorn tower of Belle-Île-en-Mer. Since then, he has developed various projects there as both curator and artist.

"Là où les formes se répondent"
With Moon-Pil Shim and Erwan Mahéo
_On view until April 26, 2026

Focus Artist: Moon-Pil Shim

Moon-Pil Shim (b. 1958, South Korea) is a contemporary painter and sculptor living and working in France. His distinctive practice explores the interplay of color, light, and spatial perception through compositions often created with resin and plexiglass.

Shim develops a unique visual language based on the superimposition of colored planes and the use of plexiglass as a membrane between the artwork and the viewer. Color is frequently applied to the reverse side of the surface, allowing light, reflection, and movement to gradually reveal the image. As the viewer shifts position, the work transforms—inviting a subtle and immersive perceptual experience.

Smooth, luminous fields of color—sometimes intersected by fine lines—generate a delicate balance between chromatic clarity and atmospheric depth. This oscillation between transparency and opacity creates a dynamic, almost meditative pictorial space, often described as having a metaphysical dimension.

Join us for the opening: "Là où les formes se répondent" with the works of and .

A space where light answers gesture. Where plexiglass speaks to fabric.
Where each form finds its echo. 😊

13/03/2026

Lee-Bauwens Gallery is pleased to invite you to "Là où les formes se répondent"(Where Forms Respond to One Another), an exhibition bringing together for the first time the works of Moon-Pil Shim and Erwan Mahéo.

Two practices, two gestures, one shared sensibility: the perception of space as a field of relationships. Moon-Pil Shim’s plexiglass surfaces capture and diffuse light, creating a depth that feels almost immaterial, while Erwan Mahéo’s fabric structures unfold across the wall with a strong physical and graphic energy.
Together, their works establish a quiet dialogue between lightness and matter, transparency and contrast, presence and openness—an invitation to move through the space, observe, and let the forms resonate with one another.

_Opening: Sunday, March 22, 2026
_14:00 → 19:00 (In presence of the artists)
