Klaas Rommelaere (*1986) has his artistic roots in the world of fashion. For the narratives of his installations, paintings and collages, he therefore uses a language that is familiar to him and so his canvases are made of printed fabric and his paintings and sculptures are embroidered, braided and woven. For his second solo exhibition at Galerie Zink, Blood, Rommelaere has created a series of works that explore the enduring strength of family ties. The works evoke the idea of one generation passing on experience, knowledge and strength to the next. The focus is on the kitchen table, as a symbol of family gatherings, community and bonding experiences. Abstract figures made of metal, braided with rattan and covered with embroidery, capture the intimacy and warmth of these moments, while textile collages tell the story of the generations.
