Space [Karen Blixen] Eddy Van Gestel  ‘There must always be one thing that is more important than anything else to a person and I think that for me this is freedom, or space. I cannot and will not live in a situation where I feelmyself incarcerated. Naturally no one can tell how it will go.’  [On 10 April 1931, Karen Blixen – better known as Isak Dinesen, author of Out of Africa – wrote a very candid and touching letter to her younger brother Thomas. The letter is long, but this intense excerpt captures well why she felt so at home in Kenya.]  Size: 113 x 137 cm Edition of 6 + 2 artist proof  For more information please email [email protected] or DM  Eddy Van Gestel

A special moment during the opening vernissage of Conversions, The Letters. Eddy Van Gestel gave an interview, sharing some of the stories behind his latest works, offering a deeper glimpse into the stories behind the images.  Photographs Inspired by letters written by well known figures such as Vincent van Gogh, Frida Kahlo and Marilyn Monroe, these new photographs were created in Kenya over a period of three years, using an infrared filter to transform the landscapes and scenes he encountered.  Conversions, The Letters is on view at Gallery Leclair until November 1  Eddy Van Gestel

‘I had a dream’[Martin Luther King] Eddy Van Gestel  ‘In spite of my shattered dreams, I came to Birmingham with the hope that the white religious leadership of this community would see the justice of our cause and, with deep moral concern, would serve as the channel through which our just grievances could reach the power structure ... But again I have been disappointed.’  [On 16 April 1963, Martin Luther King wrote his famous Letter from Birmingham Jail. It’s a plea for peace and brotherhood, intended to open the eyes of the country’s leaders. The letter would be followed by his legendary ‘I have a dream’ speech a few months later. King used ‘dream’ because it was a future reality he could see vividly, not as a closed-eye fantasy.]  ——  ‘I had a dream’ Size: 82 x 104,7 cm Edition of 6 + 2 artist proof

25.09 - 01.11.2026  Gallery Leclair Kloosterstraat 28, 2000 Antwerp  -—  ‘I just miss you’ Vita Sackville  ‘You have no idea how stand-offish I can be with people I don’t love. I have brought it to a fine art. But you have broken down my defenses. And I don’t really resent it … Please forgive me for writing such a miserable letter.
V.’ I just miss you
 [‘I am reduced to a thing that wants Virginia.’ So begins a letter from Vita Sackville-West to Virginia Woolf, written in Milan and dated 21 January 1926. Sackville-West was married and had two sons. Yet throughout her life she was more attracted to women than men. Of her many love affairs, the one with Woolf is perhaps the most haunting. The relationship would inspire Woolf’s novel Orlando, described as ‘the longest and most charming love letter in literature’.]  -—

Aribiglari ‘Mystic Beasts’  170 x 140 cm Acrylics and pen on canvas.
Unique piece, 1/1. swipe to see some details  ——

Arash Biglari, born in Belgium (1987), is a self-taught painter whose work explores the depths of human consciousness. His journey in art has been driven by the desire to tap into the flow state, where creativity emerges naturally through randomness and intuition. He has never had formal training; instead, he embraces the freedom of self-discovery, allowing his art to evolve organically.

His paintings blend abstraction with intricate detail, often resembling a parody of real life. At first glance, they appear chaotic, but closer inspection reveals a deeper structure, mirroring the complexity of the human mind and experience. Through his work, he aims to invite viewers to see beyond the obvious, engaging with the underlying patterns that connect us all.  ——

Another version of myself

[On March 3, 2018, Kalyani Kolli wrote an open letter to herself, reflecting on self-compassion and personal growth. ‘I did not change my identity to become stronger, I just started to care more about myself. Self-worth is everything, but so easily
overlooked. Love yourself and everything will fall into place,
trust me’.]  -—
