ANONYMOUS FAME

April 17 – May 31, 2026

Vernissage Friday April 17, 17 -20H

The Gallery will be closed;  May 1 (Fri)

May 15,16 (Fri, Sat)

Laurent Dierick’s impressive canvases from the series, “Anonymous Fame” would not be out of place in any of the world’s “art palaces”.

Gallery Nostrum is therefore humbled to have the unique privilege to exhibit in Namur (Belgium), an intimate suite of paintings from an impressive selection not already in the hands of collectors.

These powerful pieces are beautifully complimented by an equally impactful selection of smaller works on paper, from the ongoing, “Hollyweird” series.

Gallery Nostrum first included Laurent in the group show, Burn, baby! Burn! (2024), last summer’s, attention-grabbing, 2-person exhibition, Pledges of Allegiance (2025), with Bart Dewolf and the invitational, Pandora, where his work was eagerly acquired.

We are delighted to devote the entire (albeit) humble space of Gallery Nostrum to Laurent, for this solo-exhibition and hope you will join us for the vernissage, on Friday April 17, from 17 -20H.

Laurent Dierick, born in Etterbeek (Belgium) in 1978, works from existing images that he disturbs, alters, and transforms. Posters, photographs, and fragments of popular culture become the ground for direct intervention, where the image begins to lose its stability. Vitriolized images, solvents, oil paint, and mixed media—pencil and pastel—attack the surface until the icon itself begins to fracture. The polished beauty of media imagery falters, revealing the fragile nature of what images claim to make eternal.
