Tina Gillen, HEAT, 2022, Acrylic on canvas, 150 x 210 cm Opening exhibition   Tina Gillen - HEAT   On Thursday 13 October at 18:00 in Bruxelles   For over twenty-five years, Tina Gillen (b. 1972, Luxembourg) has been producing a body of pictorial work, driven by an continually renewed research on the relationship that we as humans have with the world around us, in it is constructed and natural forms. Her paintings are distinguished by the way they nurture a certain ambiguity, between abstraction and figuration, construction and improvisation, the surface of the canvas and the translation of a space. Tina Gillen has been living in Belgium for a long time (she lives and works in Brussels and teaches painting at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp), and is currently representing Luxembourg at the Biennale Arte 2022 in Venice, with her project Faraway So Close. Bringing together a set of new paintings on canvas and paper, the exhibition she has conceived for the Nosbaum Reding Gallery extends the themes developed in her Venetian installation. How to apprehend the landscape today, at the time of the anthropocene? How can we represent phenomena that largely elude human control? The theme of heat, which has been at the centre of the world's news in the last months, is the support of these questions and becomes the basis of a pictorial research. - Christophe Gallois -    Nosbaum Reding | Bruxelles Rue de la Concorde 60A |  1050 Ixelles +32 24 11 11 85  |  communication@nosbaumreding.com   More information →  here  and here →  www.nosbaumreding.com   Tina Gillen in her studio, Belgium, October 2022
