The expressive paintings of the Armenian artist Armen Eloyan (b. 1966) are as cute and seductive as they are repulsive. According to Eloyan, a good painting is like a good joke: the pieces must fit together.

Noted for his large-scale, irreverent paintings of anthropomorphic animals and figures, he depicts absurd narratives in his darkly comic work. Though Eloyan doesn’t define himself as a writer, his paintings tell sardonic, sometimes erotic stories. Inspired partly by cartoons and street art, as well as the European masters, his works are heavily impastoed with colorful paints and thick black outlines, adroitly balancing dark humor with a searing existential vision of a dystopic world.

With texts by art critic Anne Bonnin and Laurence Gateau (director, Frac des Pays de la Loire). 

In collaboration with the Tim Van Laere Gallery, Antwerp.

In april 2019 verhuist Tim Van Laere Gallery naar het Antwerpse Nieuw Zuid. Voor de deuren van de Verlatstraat definitief dicht gaan, organiseert Van Laere er nog een laatste afscheidstentoonstelling, getiteld The Last Waltz (For Leon). De tentoonstelling is een feestelijke afsluiter van een periode van 20 jaar waarin vriendschap, kwalitatieve tentoonstellingen en plezier centraal stonden. Alle kunstenaars die de voorbije twintig jaar de ruimte mee hebben bepaald met opvallende tentoonstellingen krijgen een plek in deze expo. Zowel grote namen die de galerie mee op de kaart geplaatst hebben als Rinus Van de Velde, Kati Heck, Adrian Ghenie, Jonathan Meese en Franz West dus, maar ook nieuwe talenten als Tomasz Kowalski, Ben Sledsens, Ryan Mosley of Anke Weyer komen aan bod in de expo.
