Kontrapunt #2
Kontrapunt is a project which accumulates a discussion about the issues that are not efficiently and widely used and recognized in every society.
“As we know there are many societies that cannot agree with the freedom of expression but here in Belgium and generally in Europe we have a better situation than the rest of the world. I would like to take a benefit of this position by organizing an exhibition, which shows to the public, the power of art in opposition to censorship and control. Freedom of expression is essential to the Arts. It needs to be actively sustained at the heart of the artistic practice and mission, or it risks being undermined and diminished by the conflict of interests. Throughout history works of art have been altered, silenced and even erased due to unacceptable content, whether the motivations for censorship were religious, social or political. Yet artists have long pushed boundaries of “offensive” through their imagery and content, presenting everything... Therefore, for the second edition of Kontrapunt, I would like to display the Artworks that ‘could be’ prohibited or banned not necessarily in Europe but other parts of the world.”
Participating artists: Anne-Mie Van Kerckhoven (BE), Danny
De Vos (BE), Christine Clinckx (BE), Charif Benhelima (BE/ MR), Mekhitar Garabedian (SY), Maryam Najd (IR).

Dez Mona — Book of many
Golden Boy Under Fire.
This is the image of Gregory Frateur, frontman of the band Dezmona. I have created a piece of work front and back for their new album Book of Many to be released in February 2019.
This is the cover of the album. The original front and back painting is 80x60cm — oil on canvas.
Named after Othello's wife in Shakespeare's tragedy, Belgian outfit Dezmona combine jazz, gospel, classical, and French chansons to produce a sound that's been compared to the likes of Nina Simone, Anthony & the Johnsons and Tom Waits. Formed in 2003 by vocalist Gregory Frateur and Nicolas Rombouts.
