Twenty-five years after he
first
started painting in Borgerhout (Antwerp), Sam Dillemans has had an old
industrial building renovated near his atelier in order to use it as an
exhibition space for his works on a regular basis.
His unconventional artistic
career, unaffected by compelling trends, has acquired a unique position
in the
contemporary Belgian art world, also through a number of successful
exhibitions
in Belgium and abroad.
Due to popular demand, Sam
has
agreed to create an opportunity for his fans to be able to enjoy his
authentic
art on a permanent basis. For the realisation of this initiative, he
could rely
on enthusiastic support of his entourage.
The idea is to organise
regular
long-running exhibitions of his work from two different angles: on the
one hand,
to show the oeuvre that represent different artistic periods in
Dillemans'
career; on the other, to unveil recent topic-based works.
