Francis Maere Fine Arts presents Conrad Willems: Construction VII at BRAFA 2025
Conrad Willems’ Construction VII is a captivating synthesis of sculpture, drawing, and performance. Drawing from his lifelong passion for movement and building, Willems bridges the disciplines of architecture, art, and choreography to create modular stone sculptures that are both monumental and deeply personal. Each piece in the Construction series is built live in front of an audience, through a semi-choreographed performance that highlights the artist’s physical engagement with the material. The act of stacking and assembling stone blocks becomes a creative dance, reflecting his background in ballet and tango. The building blocks of his sculptures are inspired by the iconic Fröbel toys, reimagined and refined in natural stone such as Belgian fossil, travertine, or Calacatta Oro marble....

ABOUT
Francis Maere Fine Arts was founded in 1995, specialising from the start in Belgian art dating from 1880-1950. With roots on the banks of the famous river Lys, the gallery has focused from the start on artists from Sint-Martens-Latem and the surrounding area. Movements covered stretch from late 19th century plein-airism to impressionism and luminism, symbolism, expressionism and surrealism, right up to the first abstract art movements in Belgium. Since its creation the gallery has participated in numerous art fairs in Ghent, Brussels, Antwerp, Kortrijk and Amsterdam. In 2011 Francis Maere opened a new gallery in Ghent on the first floor of the Hotel Falligan, an 18th century ‘Hôtel de Maître’. The renovated premises have inspired a new focus on modern and contemporary movements. The gallery’s primary aim is to promote Belgian art through exhibitions, publications and joint ventures at home and abroad. Francis Maere is an active member of ROCAD.
