This will be the sixth solo show of ENRIQUE MARTY (°1969) at Deweer Gallery. The exhibition ‘Sense of failure’ will focus on universal feelings, such as failure, longing and frustration. An animation film will be projected in which one of Marty’s nephews undertakes several unsuccessful efforts to move to Toronto. This film consists of thousands of paintings, which will be displayed on two walls. For this show, Marty also created a dozen remarkable sculptures: 25 surprising failed paintings (using crumpled canvas as a base to paint on), 100 small and 4 large paintings. Each work explores the human soul as a comédie humaine with dark passages. For the outdoor sculptures exhibition, Marty created a touching bronze portrait sculpture of Mark Rothko.

That same week, more specifically on Thursday, March 23, 2017 from 7 until 10 pm, another exhibition of Enrique Marty, entitled ‘Lonely Stalker’, opens at BUBOX in Courtray (Kortrijk). In order to accommodate visitors who wish to visit both exhibitions, the organizers of BUBOX have (for the course of this exhibition) adjusted their opening hours to coincide with those of Deweer Gallery. A perfect opportunity to combine a visit to this exhibition with the Vernissage. Moreover, BUBOX will also be open on Saturday.
