RETOUR AUX SOURCES

To kick off 2025, Usine Utopik is offering a made-in-Belgium group exhibition featuring the work of artists Chloé Coomans, Mario Ferretti, Annabelle Hyvrier, Alexis Remacle, and Arnaud Sprimont.

These five sculptors are reuniting at the Utopik Factory after 30 years. “ We grew up together between plaster, stone, wood, clay, and bronze. We are bound by our history. We are sculptors.”

This winter exhibition will present “ the fruit of our latest research. The common thread is our roots. The one that makes us who we are.”

Our worlds are complementary. They communicate with each other through the strength of multiple proposals, whether in the subjects addressed or the way of approaching them . It is a question of focusing on what is essential for each of us, of giving meaning to our practices.

Despite our addiction to raw materials, we cannot deny our desire to transform them to express through them the stories we tell ourselves, each with our own sensitivity .” (extract from the catalogue)
