DUANE HANSON. Sculptures of the American Dream.
20.02 > 25.05.2014
Striking and disturbing, Duane Hanson's sculptures are presented for the first time at the Museum of Ixelles. In the tradition of Pop Art, Hanson takes a sharp and sometimes harsh view on the consumer society and mass American culture in the aftermath of the Second World War. Balancing talent, cynicism and humanism, Hanson’s evocative figures lingering around the Museum’s spaces will certainly impact on any visitor.
Summer 2014
STEPHAN BALLEUX. The Painting and its double
26.06 > 14.09.2014
The exhibition STEPHAN BALLEUX. The painting and its double unveiled the latest work of this burgeoning and promising Belgian artist. Balleux is a multidisciplinary artist combining drawing, painting, sculpture and multimedia. He was undoubtedly one of the most talented artists in Belgium today. The Museum of Ixelles was devoting a major exhibition in order to highlight his striking work and a range of issues. Somewhere between reality and illusion, blurring the lines of creation and perception, Stephan Balleux examined painting and the artist in a digital age and Photoshop. Through a selection of mesmerizing work, Balleux invited the visitor into his strange yet familiar world. Questioning the status of the image, painting, reality, the limits of representation and perception, Balleux opened the doors on a world of rich aesthetic experience where pure painting dominates.
Disguising reality in his paintings, Balleux’s work was both powerful and fascinating that willcaptivate all audiences.
Fall 2014
PAUL DELVAUX unveiled
23.10.2014 > 18.01.2015
The Museum of Ixelles presented the carefree and sensitive world of the famous Belgian master, Paul Delvaux.

Under close scrutiny from the keen eyes of curators, art historians, art critics and collectors, the unique approach of these themes revealed a richness, depth and poetic force in the work of Paul Delvaux.
