Eva Steynen Gallery is excited to present Nel Bonte's first solo exhibition at the gallery, 'Tamed animals'.

In her sculptures and drawings Nel Bonte (°1986) lets personal memories and everyday objects interact into a play of image, color and scale. The sculptures are minimal in line and are inspired by games and toys. By putting works with different textures and vocabulary together in a scenography, she creates new playful connections. They become assemblages of matter and memory, prototypes for interacting with the audience. And there is always a gentle humor around the corner.

Since 2013, Eva Steynen Gallery has been supporting and promoting contemporary artists with a strong conceptual and visual vocabulary. The gallery has a multi-disciplinary approach and works closely with a small group of emerging national and international artists. Situated in a 19th century town house, the gallery's objective is to show, support and promote the artists represented by the gallery, in a more informal context. The annual group exhibitions give the occasion to discover new artists.
