March – April 2020
But few painters are as good with acrylic paint as Leo Loedts, an artist born in 1942 (Etterbeek) from Heverlee who is having for the third time an exhibition at TABLOO. That is, in itself, a unique thing for which he is very grateful. He paints with so much precision that his works seem to be oil paintings. Leo has developed that fixed hand and his eye for color and detail since the beginning of his artistic career as a flamish comic artist and graphic designer, after having studied at the high school for fine arts Sint-Lucas in Brussels and later at the academy of Louvain. At his 78th birthyear Leo still paints as if he was really walking through forests and landscapes, looking straight in the eyes of wolves and truly swimming between the fish in the sea. And in doing so, he does not shy away from criticism of all those who inflict evil on the nature he loves so much.
December 2019 – January 2020
Born in Italy, Valentina Contato (°1983, Monselice) always dreamed of living abroad and eight years ago, life brought her to Leuven.
As young girl, Valentina was already in love with art, shapes, colours, architecture, fashion, music,… because these are all expressions of our deeper emotions. A recent holiday to Tanzania completely made her eager to start drawing and painting. First, she got to work with paper and black ball-point pen, to add more colour after that. But the paper quickly didn’t seem to be enough, so she began to experiment with canvas, acrylics and brushes.
All her paintings have at the origin a center of energy from where the colour levels get started: the bigger the canvas, the more emotions it has. Valentina believes that art and beauty make the world a better place. That’s why she is working on different projects in fashion and literature. Her first exhibition takes place at TABLOO with a focus on different passages of her self-expression.

Nicky Myny (°1986, Hasselt) comes to TABLOO with her series of ethnic portraits that she painted on canvas after many travels in Africa. As a child she was already impressed when her grandfather deconstructed old furniture and reconstructed it to a new shape. From her mother and grandmother she inherited the love for textile. That’s how she grew up to an all-round artist who likes experimenting with different materials and techniques and who loves collaborating with musicians, scientists and designers. She achieved several degrees, from fashion designer to a master in visual arts. In 2014 Myny started to exhibit and in 2017 she opened the multi-disciplinary art studio ARTKOM in Leuven offering space for artistic meetings. In 2018 she was nominated as meritorious artist at the city hall of Brussels because of her efforts on the artistic, social and cultural scene. In 2019 she received the public Wonder Woman Award at the fashion museum in Hasselt. In this way Nicky keeps on exploring the interaction between painting art and fashion design. She adopts her own visual language in her work. Several colour layers are applied in small fragments so that figurative subjects become partially abstract. At this moment she is working on a new series called “The Face of Music”.

June – September 2019
“15 minutes of fame” or the eternal search for luck by fame, success, money, physical appearance, even if it’s only for 15 minutes. Many young ‘superstars’ of the fifties took part in the Warhol myth and let themselves immortalize by him on canvas. That’s how Andy Warhol (1928-1987) himself became the star he always wanted to be: the most famous American pop artist of the 20th century. During a workshop at TABLOO, about ten course members searched for their own experience of the “15 minutes of Andy Warhol” by painting a portrait according to his style with vivid colours and black outlines. Some tried to imitate a typical ‘Warhol Serie’ of a daily object, because Andy liked repetition and mass production. He used the silkscreen technique for this, but these ‘superstars’ painted a personage by themselves with oil and acrylic.
February – March 2019
Ruth Vannieuwenborg (°1989) will exhibit her work at TABLOO during this period. Her artistic journey started at the age of six at the Royal Acadamy for Fine Arts in Kortrijk, where she got to know different materials and processes. Her grandfather introduced her very soon in watercolour painting. After finishing the lower and secondary degree in Kortrijk, she switched to a higher degree of painting techniques at the Art Academy of Leuven. After being trained in several oil painting techniques during three years, she actually learns to work with acrylic paint and gets to know the possibilities of this medium.
During this interesting learning process Ruth likes to place daily topics and feelings in new contexts. Going from banal objets such as bottles and cups to more complicated emotions like capturing bottle happiness, she is convinced that everything gets a new dimension depending on the way it’s lightened. Communicating with images is present throughout her work… What if you were ‘the message in the bottle’? Which message would you bring? Or not bring at all?
