Artist and gallerist
A little while ago we interviewed Emily Rammant about her brandnew gallery project in Ostend, L’Étage d’Euphrosine. This week sees the opening of her second exhibition, “A Matter Of Time”, which showcases a selection of paintings by Magda Amariorei, a Brussels-based artist with Romanian roots. It’s the very first solo expo of this young, up-and-coming artist, who was also a finalist of SMAK’s “Coming People” exhibition that selects Belgium’s best art school graduates. Ameriorei’s abstract creations are colorful, sensual and at times melancholic, and will be juxtaposed by a landscape painting of Euphrosine Beernaert, an artist who lived in the street of the gallery and who it owes its name to.
