Hivernation

✨ Hivernation is an invitation to surrender to the reveries of winter. Through painting, sculpture, installation, ceramics, stained glass, and textile art, the exhibition approaches winter not merely as a seasonal motif, but as an existential condition: a time when living beings slow down, seek shelter, and continue their transformations away from view.

✨ Hivernation is a group exhibition bringing together 15 artists at the Beffroi Gallery in Namur.

Sofie Muller presents two new works, Latent I and Latent II (2026), in which painted faces merge with the altered surface of alabaster. Their closed eyes suggest a state of silence and withdrawal, somewhere between sleep and presence, consciousness and dreaming.
