Exhibition - More amor por favor - Maxime Bruneel

"MORE AMOR POR FAVOR" plays on languages and meanings: death in French, more in English, amor in Spanish. A killing of death, a silent call for more love.

With Maxime Bruneel at the helm, this exhibition takes shape around flowers and sleeping bodies. These colorful figures, floating between sleep and abandon, intertwine with the delicacy of flowers, reminding us that beauty and ephemerality are one and the same. These flowers, offered as tokens of love or placed on graves, embody both gentleness and finitude, hope and loss.

To create is to resist.
It's a silent but fundamental act, a space where we say what weapons scream. But also what silence leaves unsaid.
It was more than urgent to create an exhibition around love, as a cry against the fragmentation of ties and dehumanization.

Michaël Van Craelingen extends this reflection with Fragility, an M4 in transparent acrylic glass, suspended between power and erasure. A gun that doesn't fire, that seems untouchable but can break at any moment. Like peace. Like our certainties.

Vincent Richard de Latour works with color, but also with rupture. He paints a panel of vivid colors on paper, then tears it apart, just as men can tear themselves apart. Then he cuts, weaves, glues and reassembles. He transforms what has been broken into a new unity, a tangible link, a repair. Through this gesture, he gives substance to an essential idea: reweaving, reattaching, rebuilding. More amor por favor thus becomes a manifesto of the bond, a metaphor for the humanity that must constantly be recreated if it is not to collapse.

Olivier Rocheau, on the other hand, turns to the essential. He paints as one writes a diary, focusing on everyday objects that we no longer look at. He transposes still life into living objects. A chair, placed there, becomes a model that he scrutinizes as closely as if it were a body. An innocuous cast-iron radiator is transformed under his brush into a luminous sculpture. A shirt folded on a bed reveals its simple, beautiful presence. He teaches us to see what we no longer see.

"MORE AMOR POR FAVOR" is a manifesto for learning to be content with the beauty that surrounds us. Not to want more, but to look better.
