This exhibition brings together four seemingly distinct artists. Their styles, themes and ways of working appear to diverge, yet they share an unusual origin: they all emerged from one and the same maker.

Group Show departs from the concept of heteronyms — invented artists with their own name, background and artistic practice. This concept has a rich history: Fernando Pessoa, for instance, created multiple authors each with their own voice, while Marcel Duchamp worked under his alter ego Rrose Sélavy. In this exhibition, that principle is applied within the visual arts.

The four artists do not function as simple masks, but as autonomous voices, each with their own view of art and the world. At times they find common ground; at others they contradict one another. It is precisely in that tension that the essence of the exhibition emerges. The question of the "real" maker is deliberately kept in the background. More important is what happens when one person splits into multiple artistic identities. As a visitor, you move between these four voices — which may be more closely connected than they first appear.

The artist works under four names: Clara, Josse, Pablo and Rosa. Each has their own voice, use of materials and perspective, and together they form a dynamic network of enquiry, expression and experiment. Occasionally work arises that cannot be fully attributed to any one of them — a reminder that creativity can never be entirely contained.

Clara focuses on the still life as a historically charged genre. Inspired in part by Clara Peeters (born between 1580 and 1589, active in Antwerp from 1607/1608 until 1657), she revisits floral compositions as a space for resistance and layered meaning. What was once regarded as decorative and limiting becomes here a place of autonomy. Her paintings develop in two phases: first an expressive, colourful build-up in which forms vibrate and burst open, followed by a dark veil of oil paint that quiets the image and adds complexity. This veil serves as a metaphor for both protection and constraint, bringing themes of visibility, suppression and quiet strength to the fore.

Josse reduces landscapes, portraits, still lifes and riders to their essence. Initially he worked exclusively in black and white, with light and shadow carrying the full weight of expression. His images seem to exist in a slowed-down time. In recent work, subtle colour accents appear along the edges of the picture — sometimes within the composition itself. A tension arises between interior and exterior, where memory, distance and longing converge.

Pablo paints colourful birds, clouds, vegetables and fruit that appear too large for the canvas. His images balance between figuration and abstraction. By enlarging the subject, everyday elements become simultaneously monumental and intimate. They invite slowness and attention: the familiar becomes strange and fascinating, and the large acquires an unexpected closeness.

Rosa emerges when experiment and enquiry take centre stage. Her work has a surrealist and introspective quality, often built around warm, earthy tones. Eyes, portraits and fragments of bodies recur as elements that are at once observing and

observed. Her paintings move between dream and reality, combining technique with imagination. Rosa forms a quiet but essential layer within the whole: a space for inner exploration and artistic development.

Together, these four voices reveal the heart of artistic practice — a persistent urge to make, to enquire and to experiment. Working across multiple identities creates room for doubt, freedom and growth. It allows different forms of expression to exist side by side, and keeps the creative process open and in motion.
