Currently on view at Office Baroque Gallery, Brussels is the group exhibition, “Hephaestus.” The exhibition is composed of various works by Catharine Ahearn, Mathis Altmann, John Finneran, Thomas Gilissen, and Michael Rey. “Hephaestus” is a great example of a successfully curated show exploring a expansive combination of paintings and sculptural objects.  The floor is adorned in large scale sculptures like “Pretzel Bike” by Catharine Ahearn, a humorous take on the prowess of materiality in an artist’s studio practice. Meanwhile the walls are in company of a collection of paintings that explore surface as form, texture, and cultural platform.
