Upcycling: the future of art?

We have been seeing it for quite some time now, in all aspects of society: critical messages about overzealous consumption and environmental pollution. Recycling and upcycling have become necessary measures in the battle for a cleaner environment. The art world is also unable to escape this societal shift and we have also noticed this at Early Birds Art Gallery.

Night of het Zoute

We at Early Birds Art Gallery have enjoyed a pleasantly busy summer, with no more than two new exhibitions. The male bronzes of Philippe Timmermans and the photography of Tim Flach drew in a lot of visitors, and the accompanying events made sure that the Early Birds did not sit still for a minute. It was a true pleasure to us to welcome you all. We invite you to reminisce with these pictures of the festive opening of the exhibition of Tim Flach during the Night of Het Zoute.

An original bronze sculpture

Original artwork, épreuves artists, EA, 8+4, these are all terms that are often tossed around when talking about bronze artworks. But how exactly does that work? Francis Dedrie, owner of Early Birds Art Gallery, explains it all.

In The Spotlight: Philippe Timmermans

Philippe Timmermans (°1957) makes male sculptures in bronze. You can come and discover them in Knokke. The work of Timmermans has a clear signature, recognizable by the typical postures of the nude body and the incredibly detailed applied textures. We are honoured to introduce you to this artist and his work.

New Artist Tim Flach

They look straight into the lens, or appear to be posing as trained models. Some of them in their crisp feather suits, others seemingly unaware of their dazzling, colorful beauty. They are the birds of animal photographer Tim Flach (°1958). They find themselves in good company. Flach has created a magnificent photo collection (and books) about horses, dogs and threatened species.
