HU! (BE)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

HU! is the winner of the 2026 Emerging Gallery Grant powered by KBC Brussels<\/strong>, an initiative launched to support one young Brussels-based contemporary art gallery established after February 2021. HU!<\/a> <\/strong>opened in Ixelles in June 2024 and is dedicated in presenting refined, technically strong works by Belgium-based artists in a welcoming setting.

Elodie Antoine<\/strong> specializes in soft sculptures. In her work she explores the potential of materials such as thread, fabric, wallpaper, wool carpet and felt, by allowing them to proliferate and contaminate space in a way natural to them. 

Frederic Biesmans <\/strong>creates miniature ceramic \u201csnapshots\u201d merging organic and mechanical forms. Inspired by science fiction and his background as a stone carver, he builds futuristic scenes that explore the aesthetics of the infinitesimally small with playful precision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GALERIE VEYSSI\u00c8RE (FR)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Located in the historic centre of Tours, Galerie Veyssi\u00e8re<\/strong><\/a> focuses on Japanese, modern, and contemporary prints, alongside paintings, drawings, and photography. With a strong emphasis on authenticity and quality, the gallery contributes actively to the cultural life of the city. 

Esma\u00ebl Bahrani<\/strong> is an Iranian artist whose work channels the tension between Middle Eastern heritage and Western underground culture. Through a hybrid practice that spans drawing, painting, and street art – often layering wax, scratches, and expressive, chaotic figures – he denounces oppression and gives form to the rebellious energy of youth.  

Sacr\u00e9 Fred<\/strong> creates surreal scenes using 3D compositing software, later translating these digital environments onto canvas with precise yet ethereal brushstrokes that feel like fleeting dreams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
