Stéphane Halleux – “Major Service”

FROM 19/10/2024
TO 11/11/2024

Artist: Stéphane Halleux

Gallery: BRUGES

Opening on Saturday October 19th from 16 to 20h, in the presence of the artist.

Renowned Belgian artist Stéphane Halleux exposes his latest exhibition to the public, a captivating showcase that promises to transport visitors into a world of whimsical and intriguing creations. Known for his distinctive sculptures that blend retro-futurism with his unmistakable wit and cleverness, Halleux’s work often challenges the boundaries between the mechanical and the organic.

The exhibition features a range of Halleux’s most recent pieces, including human-like fantastical beings with peculiar gadgets and vehicles operating in another time and adapted reality. His characters, often depicted in eccentric, handcrafted outfits and adorned with an array of mechanical attachments, evoke a sense of nostalgia and curiosity. The detailed craftsmanship of the sculptures, combined with their imaginative designs, invites viewers to explore narratives of invention, adventure and the surreal.

The title “Major Service” hints at a thematic exploration of maintenance and care, perhaps reflecting on the idea of tending to both the mechanical and the human aspects of existence? The works in this exhibition promise to further establish Halleux’s reputation as a master of combining the absurd with the profound, encouraging viewers to entertain the connections between technology, humanity and artistic invention.
