Philippe Van Snick is one of the foremost contemporary Belgian artists. His work combines the heritage of modern abstract art and the conceptual enunciates of the seventies, delving into a field of speculations on the perception of the world and life. Even though Van Snick’s work has been repeatedly considered from the perspective of painting fundamentals, recent reviews of his oeuvre have shed light on his recurrent experimentations, straddling fields as distinct as conceptual photography, film, installation, artist’s books, or site-specific projects.

Founded in São Paulo in 2011, Galeria Jaqueline Martins is a space for research, documentation and presentation of contemporary artistic production. It proposes collaborative curatorial strategies that foster dialogue between different generations and different cultural perspectives. One of its guiding principles is the encouragement of research-oriented conceptualist practices characterized by critical, even subversive, approaches. Since its inauguration, the gallery has developed a special program around the investigation of artistic productions carried out during the Brazilian military period – more specifically from the 1970s and 1980s. It promotes a historical revision of processes grounded on strong intellectual resistance, audacity and commitment to art and which transformed the artistic practice in the country, but nonetheless were neglected throughout the last decades.

In 2020 the gallery opened its second exhibition space, in Brussels, aiming to expand our presence in Europe and to develop a multidisciplinary program that will foster connections between our artists and Brazilian art practices in an international context. ...
