KMSKA
Guy Vandenbranden in the European avant-garde
With Guy Vandenbranden
16/10/2026 – 17/01/2027
To mark the centenary of Guy Vandenbranden’s (1926–2014) birth, the KMSKA presents a special exhibition dedicated to one of Belgium’s leading representatives of constructivism. Discover how Vandenbranden became a pioneer of geometric abstraction and explore the career of a key figure in the post-war European avant-garde.
The exhibition traces Vandenbranden’s artistic development, from his early expressionist works to his clear, geometric compositions of colour and line. Inspired by artists such as Paul Klee, Piet Mondrian and Victor Vasarely, he developed a distinctive constructivist visual language in which form, colour and space are carefully balanced. His pursuit of precision also led him to experiment with industrial materials and fuelled his interest in modern architecture.
