Rik Rosseels Gallery (KAAI)

Roeland Tweelinckx creates sculptures and site-specific interventions, based on everyday objects that he subtly employs to manipulate the environment and our perception. His work often incorporates elements of trompe-l’oeil, which creates a slight sense of confusion for the viewer, while simultaneously inviting us to break free from our conditioned way of seeing.
Tweelinckx’s simple, spontaneous, and often humorous interventions inspire wonder and provoke reflection. They resolve contradictions and disrupt expectations. His refined, unforced artistic practice moves between recognition and estrangement, between authenticity and illusion, between an unguarded gaze and intellectual seriousness. With a sense of spontaneity and absurdity, he creates a universe where everyday objects effortlessly metamorphose into sculptures and vice versa. We recommend taking your time when viewing Roeland Tweelinckx’s work. Let it come to you slowly, so that it lingers long after.

Rik Rosseels Gallery was founded in 2017 under the name Art Gallery De Wael 15. Initially created as a platform for emerging artists, it has steadily grown into a gallery that represents and supports young, mid-career, and established artists over the long term.

The gallery organizes solo and group exhibitions, participates in art fairs, and supports artists' initiatives. In collaboration with the artists, the gallery also publishes catalogs and books.

To further strengthen its ambitions and provide artists with a wider platform, this second location was opened in 2025, along with a name change. With this move, Rik Rosseels Gallery reaffirms its ambition to be a key player in the contemporary international art scene.
