Almine Rech is pleased to announce the representation of Belgian artist Hans Op de Beeck

"Belgian artist Hans Op de Beeck is acclaimed for his sculptures, installations, videos, and watercolor works, his highly sophisticated practice creates a surreal liminal space, inviting the viewer to contemplate, reflect, and dream. I'm thrilled to start this collaboration with an artist I admire and reinforcing in this way our involvement with the Belgian art scene, in which we have been present with a space in Brussels since 2008."
— Almine Rech

The gallery will present Hans Op de Beeck's work at Art Brussels and Art Basel, Basel 2025. The artist's first solo exhibition with the gallery will be on view at Almine Rech Brussels in 2026.

Specializing in a wide range of mediums, Op de Beeck creates sculptures, installations, video art, photography, animated films, drawings, paintings, and short stories. Op de Beeck’s work is distinguished by its aesthetic versatility, ranging from minimalist designs to elaborate and exaggerated visuals, all aimed at expressing the core meaning of each piece as clearly as possible.

His thematic focus centers on human relationships with time, space, and society. The artist's creations often depict imaginary yet familiar settings, characters, and moments, evoking a sense of tragicomic absurdity within the framework of our postmodern lives. Key themes in his art include the disappearance of distances, the disembodiment of the individual, and the abstraction of time—issues that have been shaped by globalization, technological advancements, and changes to our living environments brought about by media and automation.
