About the Gallery
Axel Vervoordt Gallery, founded by Boris Vervoordt in 2011, embodies a profound artistic philosophy rooted in the Japanese aesthetic of Wabi-sabi, celebrating beauty in imperfection, humility, and the natural world. The gallery's vision, deeply influenced by ZERO and Gutai art movements, cultivates a special interest in the concepts of void, space, and time, fostering a dialogue between Eastern and Western artistic expressions. It champions art that prioritizes the creative process, offering a neutral platform for artists with whom deep relationships are forged. With locations in Antwerp and Hong Kong, the gallery curates a timeless aesthetic, seamlessly integrating ancient artifacts with contemporary works to create environments that evoke serenity and a sense of enduring history. This distinctive approach transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary, reflecting a belief that art is essential for interior peace and a deeper understanding of existence.
