NOW OPEN ✨

We are delighted to welcome you to Illusions never change into something real, the newly opened solo exhibition by Lars Sarto Hempler at Formation Gallery.

Through new paintings, works on paper and sculptures, Hempler explores the familiar and the unexpected, reimagining the still life through shifting forms, fragmented compositions and the delicate space between what we see and what we think we see.

We are open throughout the autumn holidays, including today, and look forward to welcoming you to the gallery!

2 days till opening🌟

Illusions never change into something real is slowly moving from studio to exhibition - onto the walls, across the gallery and into the space.

Installation is in full swing with Lars Sarto Hempler , as paintings and sculptural works, begin to meet and find their place in the Gallery.

This is the part we love: boxes everywhere, works leaning against walls, measuring, moving, reconsidering - and, little by little, an exhibition begins to emerge.

We can’t wait to share the finished result with you this Friday.

Opening Friday, October 9
17:00–20:00
Everyone is welcome.

We’re looking forward to opening Lars Sarto Hempler’s solo exhibition Illusions never change into something real this Friday, October 9.

In the exhibition, Hempler takes the still life as both motif and structure, shifting familiar forms into compositions where recognition and uncertainty coexist. Across new paintings, works on paper and sculptures, objects are fragmented, displaced and transformed — moving between what we see and what we think we see.

Opening Friday, October 9, 5–7 pm
Everyone is welcome.

Morten Schelde at Art on Paper Brussels

For our duo presentation at Art on Paper Brussels, we have brought a selection of new and recent works on paper by Danish artist Morten Schelde.

Drawing has always been at the very core of Schelde’s practice. Working primarily with pencil, coloured pencil and ink, he builds images that move between the immediately recognisable and something more psychologically charged. Domestic interiors, windows, objects, ships and fragments of everyday life become stages for narratives that never fully reveal themselves.

The works we are showing in Brussels span from intimate, almost cinematic interiors to larger and more complex compositions. In There’s a Light – Little Match Girl (2026), a brightly illuminated shop window appears almost like a scene within a scene, while Forestillingen i gang (The Show is On) (2026) unfolds as a dense interior filled with objects, images and small narratives. Elsewhere, open windows, nocturnal rooms and maritime motifs create a sense of looking both into and out of another space.

Schelde’s works often begin with places and objects we think we know. But through his intense use of colour, shifting perspectives and meticulous drawing, familiarity becomes unstable. The everyday takes on the quality of memory, dream or fiction — as if something has just happened, or is about to.

We have worked with Morten for many years, and his dedication to drawing and to paper as an independent artistic medium is also one of the reasons it feels particularly right to present his work here at Art on Paper Brussels.

Come and see the works in person during the final two days of the fair:

Saturday 3 October · 11–18
Sunday 4 October · 11–18

📍 Booth C4 · Tour & Taxis, Brussels

NANNA RIIS ANDERSEN AT ART ON PAPER BRUSSELS

For this year’s Art on Paper Brussels, we are presenting a selection of new works by Nanna Riis Andersen – ranging from more intimate works on paper to the large-scale Pelvic Sky (2026).

We have worked closely with Nanna for several years, and have followed the way her practice continues to unfold across painting, drawing and sculpture. At the centre of her work is an ongoing exploration of the body and its surroundings – and of those transitional states where body, landscape, plant life and imagined organisms seem to merge.

Working in layers of transparent colour, drawing and fluid, organic forms, Nanna builds compositions that move between abstraction and recognition. Fragments may suggest shells, vertebrae, plants, bodily structures or underwater organisms, only to dissolve again into colour and movement. There is a constant play between what feels familiar and what remains impossible to fully identify.

In the works presented in Brussels, this language takes very different forms: from the dense, almost enveloping space of Pelvic Sky and the saturated reds of Portal, to the more open and fragile structures of Untitled (Song) and Sprouting. Across them, forms expand, overlap and grow into one another – as if the image itself were still in the process of becoming.

Following Nanna’s recent exhibition Skin, Shape, Shelter at Formation Gallery, we are very happy to continue the conversation here in Brussels and to introduce these works to a new audience.

Find us at booth C4 at Art on Paper, Tour & Taxis.

Opening Friday, October 9, 5–7 PM 🥂

Formation Gallery is pleased to present “Illusions never change into something real”, a solo exhibition by Aarhus-based artist Lars Sarto Hempler.

Taking the still life as both motif and structure, Hempler loosens the genre from its traditional order. Vases and vessels act as anchors in compositions where forms shift, fragment and slide into something else – leaving the eye moving between what we see and what we think we see.

The exhibition brings together new paintings, works on paper and sculptures. Paint, fabric, wood, oil pastel, ceramics and book covers meet in a practice where collage is not just a technique but a way of thinking – as in the new sculptures, where book covers stand without the books they once held.

All are welcome at the opening – the artist will be present and the bar is open.

On view October 9 – November 14
Gasværksvej 9, 1656 Copenhagen V

We’re very excited to be taking part in Art on Paper Brussels for the first time, presenting a duo presentation by Morten Schelde and Nanna Riis Andersen. ❤️💛

Bringing together two distinct approaches to drawing and works on paper, the presentation unfolds through different ways of working with line, surface, memory and spatiality.

Both artists share a strong commitment to drawing as an independent artistic language, while approaching the medium from very different perspectives.

We look forward to presenting their works in Brussels and to being part of the 10th edition of Art on Paper.
