Press Release


Z33 is delighted to announce a solo exhibition by Daniel Dewar & Grégory Gicquel. Daniel Dewar and Grégory Gicquel’s collaborative art practice evokes a contemporary pastoral world through a monumental approach to craft practices. In their work, farm animals, local plants, man-made objects, or human anatomy are rendered into technically challenging materials such as embroidery, oak, marble, or silk. Probing divisions between nature and culture, they look towards tools, materials and imagery that explore our kinship with, and separation from the natural world. They place a high value in artisanal techniques to produce their artworks, often developing bespoke processes for the creation of singular works.

For their solo exhibition at Z33, Dewar and Gicquel have embarked on the production of a new monumental silk painting, which streams through the five galleries of the historic Vleugel 58. For this epic painting, the duo have chosen to depict a river scene with freshwater fish. As companions to this immersive aquatic scene, Dewar and Gicquel present a new series of sculptures made of stoneware ceramics and pink marble.


Based in Brussels and Brittany, the British-French artist duo Daniel Dewar (1975, UK) and Grégory Gicquel (1975, FR) have been working together since their student days in the late 1990s. Since then, the duo have exhibited widely and internationally in venues such as: MACRO – Museum of Contemporary Art, Rome; Culturgest, Lisbon; the Secession, Vienna; Kunsthalle Basel, Basel; Portikus, Frankfurt; Witte de With, Rotterdam; WIELS, Brussels; Musée Rodin, Paris; the Palais de Tokyo, Paris. In 2012 they were recipients of the prestigious Prix Marcel Duchamp.
