Aptère

Frédéric Halbreich's exhibition "APTÈRE" is on view at ART YĪ, Brussels, from April 10 to May 20, 2026. The show presents contemporary abstract paintings, featuring five distinct series from the artist's latest creations. Halbreich, a French-Belgian painter, poet, and musician, explores themes of emotion, material, and inner landscapes through his work.

The exhibition showcases artworks that engage in a poetic dialogue between form, light, and human sensitivity. Halbreich's technique involves pushing the boundaries of mixed media, utilizing successive layers of oil and acrylic on surfaces like aluminum, wood, or canvas. These materials become active participants, creating a singular lacquered effect that is both luminous and profound, revealing a depth that feels almost alive.
