One of the hardest decisions in painting has nothing to do with paint.
Knowing when to 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗽.

One more layer.
One more adjustment.
One more detail.

And then suddenly... one step too far.
Every artist knows that feeling.

Sometimes the final brushstroke isn’t the last one you make.
It’s the one you decide not to make. 👌

Before every canvas left Waregem, someone 𝙘𝙖𝙧𝙚𝙙 about how it was made.
For 120 years, that responsibility passed from one generation to the next.

120 artists.
120 canvases.
One installation.

To mark 120 years of Claessens Canvas, we’re bringing together artists from around the world in 𝗨𝗡𝗜𝗧𝗘𝗗.

Different styles.
Different stories.
One shared surface.

You can still apply to take part.

Some artists sketch first.
Others start directly on the canvas.

No measuring.
No planning pinned to the wall.
Just the first mark deciding where the next one goes.

A good canvas needs to follow that movement without resisting it.

That’s usually where the real work begins. 🖌️

Some connections only surface decades later.

While researching the materials used by 𝑱𝒂𝒎𝒆𝒔 𝑬𝒏𝒔𝒐𝒓, references emerged linking part of his later work to canvases from Claessens in Waregem.

Back then, it was simply a working canvas; made to be painted on.
Today, it becomes part of a much longer story. 📋

Every canvas starts long before the studio.

In flax fields.
In fibres.
In hands that prepare what comes next.

We’ve been working with that same logic for over 120 years.

What you paint on
has its own story.

Before a canvas is ready, it gets sealed.
Twice.

Two layers of glue - each one dried before the next.
It’s what keeps the paint on the surface instead of letting it sink into the fibres.

You don’t see it.
But you feel it in every brushstroke.

A jury decides.
The public feels.

With 107 submissions and 14 selected artists, the 𝗚𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗷𝘀 2026 once again shows where painting stands today - and where it is heading.
Congratulations to 𝗝𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗷𝗻 𝗕𝗮𝗲𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘁 , laureate of the Gaverprijs, and to all selected artists who brought forward their own voice and perspective.

At Claessens, we are proud to support this edition with the public prize - because recognition doesn’t only come from expertise, but also from connection. 🫶

The winner: “𝗨 𝗴𝗼𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸” 𝗯𝘆 𝗦𝗶𝘀𝗸𝗮 𝗕𝗼𝘂𝘄𝗲𝗻
A layered self-portrait where the physical and digital world quietly meet.
A look at oneself.
A look at today.

120 years of canvas making.

Behind every painting there is a surface that holds it.
And behind that surface there are makers.

For more than a century, Claessens has been producing canvas in Belgium, supporting generations of artists, studios and galleries around the world.

120 years later, the mission remains simple.
