Abstract

Abstract art occupies an important place within the works shown and collected at Artodomo. Many of the artists represented by the gallery belong to a generation that explored painting beyond representation, focusing instead on colour, structure, rhythm and space.

In Belgium, abstraction developed along several distinct paths. Some artists approached it through material and physical presence. In the work of Bram Bogart, paint becomes almost sculptural — thick, dense surfaces where colour and matter form the entire subject of the painting.

​

Others searched for a more essential and reduced visual language. Artists such as Dan Van Severen and Luc Peire stripped painting down to its most fundamental elements: lines, vertical structures, and carefully balanced compositions where silence and concentration play a central role.

A different direction emerged through artists connected to the international ZERO and constructive movements, such as Walter Leblanc and Guy Vandenbranden, where rhythm, repetition and spatial structure become the core of the work.

​

Artists like Amedée Cortier, Leon Wuidar, and Marc Verstockt explored the relationship between colour, geometry and visual perception, creating paintings where clarity and balance are central.

Earlier pioneers such as Victor Servranckx helped establish abstraction in Belgium during the early twentieth century, laying the foundations for many of the artists who followed.

​

What connects these artists is not a single style but a shared conviction: that painting can exist as its own reality. Through colour, form, structure and material, these works create a visual language that remains powerful, direct and timeless.

At Artodomo, these abstract artists form an essential part of the gallery’s identity and collection.
