• With Double Trouble, Albert Pepermans unveils a new body of work developed since the summer of 2025. At the heart of the exhibition lies the concept of the diptych: paintings conceived as twins, yet never identical. Every repetition introduces a subtle variation, a shift in gesture, colour, rhythm or composition. Whether mirrored or not, each work asserts its own distinct identity. Repetition has long been a defining thread throughout Pepermans' practice. A child of Pop Art, he was captivated early on by printmaking, serial imagery and the rhythm of recurring forms. Over the decades, these have evolved into a personal vocabulary of almost iconic symbols. In Double Trouble, however, repetition becomes more than a formal device. Rather than reproducing an image, Pepermans explores how the same idea can be reborn, each iteration revealing a new possibility. The choice of subject matter also marks a subtle shift.

• Alle Dagen Cake Blow the trumpets! Alle Dagen Cake, a series of paintings by Annea Lyvv Dreisz, emerged from the research she conducted for her Art’s Birthday cake Empire of Light at M HKA. In that work, the cake became a force of light against darkness—a critique of a society submerged in falsehoods, attempting to guide the public towards a state of eternal celebration, surrounded by angels and God. During this process, Dreisz immersed herself in cakes of every imaginable kind, gradually building an extensive collection of references that she then began to paint. One cake a day. Like a meditation. A daily investigation. A daily celebration. The title refers to Remco Campert’s book Alle Dagen Feest, drawing a parallel between baking cakes and painting them. Surrounded by the works of Magritte, Matisse, Gentileschi, Zurbarán and countless other painters, Dreisz transforms the cake into a painterly subject. From the textures of frosting to the vibrant colours of fresh fruit, each painting captures the essence of celebration. Through the medium of oil paint, the tension between light and darkness becomes tangible. Every painting becomes part of
