September – October 2020
With ‘VISTAS’ Ria Vanden Eynde seeks ways to make her landscapes speak as witnesses of social themes’s and thus tries to transcend a mere view. This exhibition is a reflection of her quest. The ‘VISTAS’ are landscapes she painted during the various summer internships she has been following in the USA (New York, Brooklyn, Connecticut) since 2011 after a training at the art academy of Leuven. Ria starts from direct observation and links back to subjective perception. Through a thorough reduction of shapes and thoughtful expressive color use, she evokes the landscapes that become so full protagonists and invite the viewer to a visual reflection on the hardening and eclipse of society. Her oil painted canvases hang loose, not clamped, a nod to the tradition of Flemish carpet art.
She is currently working on 'The Anatomy Lesson,' a series of paintings, monoprints and sculptures based on 16th century anatomist Andreas Vesalius' work 'De Humani Corporis Fabrica Libris Septem,' with attention for how female bodies were and are still approached in biomedical sciences. As a socially engaged artist, Ria tries to provide a visual social critique, to render a record of what is going on, perhaps a more real record than presented in the media, believing that art can expose, more radically than is possible in the day-to-day reality of life, what it means exactly to be a fleshed human being in the world today.

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.

October – November 2019
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”.
