New Horizons

Solo Exhibition by REMAUT.

April 11 – July 2, 2026 | Vernissage: April 18 at 18:00h

New Horizons captures a pivotal chapter in the life of Belgian artist Roger Remaut—a period of "quiet expansion" sparked by a move from Ostend, on Belgium’s coast to the rural landscapes of Billericay, England, in 1997.

This geographical shift was more than a change of address; it was a catalyst for a deeper, more confident visual language. Overlooking a garden and park, Remaut’s new studio invited a fresh dialogue with seasonal light. The results were immediate: his palette opened up, his colors became more luminous and deliberate, and his compositions moved beyond earlier restraint toward a more atmospheric structure.

The evolution was one of accumulation, not confrontation. Rather than a break with his past, these years represent a sophisticated broadening of his vocabulary. During his time in the UK, Remaut’s work gained significant professional momentum, earning selection for the Southwark Park Galleries Annual Open in London, the Essex Open, and the Norwich Film and Multimedia Festival. This visibility across both traditional and interdisciplinary platforms reflected his successful integration into the British art scene.

The culmination of this era was a triumphant return to Belgium. A solo exhibition in Gistel met with a powerful response from collectors—a moment that affirmed Remaut’s transition into a period of true chromatic autonomy and compositional maturity.

In New Horizons, we see displacement become opportunity. It is the story of an artist responding to new rhythms, proving that change is not a rupture, but the ultimate creative momentum.
