A must-see exhibition devoted to Brussels artist Michel Goyon! Opening in the presence of the artist.

For more than 40 years, Michel Goyon (1963) has been creating complex and hybrid work in which plastic experimentation blends with cultural, artistic and scientific references in a permanent search for meaning. Visionary, he draws inspiration from fields as diverse as contemporary art, mathematics, American comic strips, counterculture, art brut and science fiction. In his work spread over some 1400 pages of illustrated notebooks, large drawings and volumes, the boundaries between reality and imagination are blurred.

The expo Arborescences curated by Thibault Leonardis and Roberta Trapani, immerses visitors in a retrospective around Michel Goyon that overlooks his entire career through an interactive multimedia trail.

The event, which puts the boundaries between art brut and contemporary art in a different perspective, is accompanied by a monograph published by Knock Outsider, the Art et marges museum and Patrimoines irréguliers de France.
