Linda Coppens' acrylic works offer a soulful response to an increasingly chaotic world. Her vibrant aesthetic, inspired by the astounding beauty of nature and the complexities of the human mind, buoys a need to escape the frenzy of modern life with energetic, gestural marks and bright, uplifting colours. Linda's abstract paintings, such as those in her Poetry of Life series, present a moment of respite and harmony, a space to wander, away from our everyday life.

Belgium painter Pol Ledent focuses on a spectrum of diverse subjects, including landscapes, still life and nudes. Pol, evoking a contemporary Gaughin, combines bright, summery colours with thickly applied, flights of paint on the canvas. The artist imagines visual realms which straddle the interface between abstraction and figurative art. Expressive, distinguished and moving, his works never fail to draw the eye and move the soul.

Marleen Pauwels' minimalist compositions centre around silence and solitude. Hopping between various media from etching to drawing to collage, Marleen creates ambient scenes which explore the fragility of the human condition. Elongated, tender figures juxtapose large, open and empty spaces. Weathered and cracked walls invite viewers to peer within and thumb the gaps for their deeper meaning. Although restrained in colour, Marleen's paintings have hidden power and offer more than what first meets the eye.
