Gert Goossens presents a collection of 88 works that prioritize the language of visual metaphor. Eschewing a traditional exhibition history, the practice instead focuses on the construction of the image itself, drawing on a sensibility often associated with the concept of "living paintings." The work is characterized by a deep engagement with art-historical references, where each composition feels staged and intentional. By moving away from a standard biographical narrative, Goossens allows the viewer to focus entirely on the symbolic weight and theatrical presence of the individual pieces.
