These paintings are a tribute to Brussels streets, artists’ studios, friends’ flats, parties, exhibition openings at galleries and artist-run spaces, and to this common and familiar object who brings people and friends together.

This packaging design coincides with the artist’s arrival in Brussels where he met new friends between 2013 and 2016. The can’s visual has been redesigned in 2017 and valuable friendships have been established from then on.

Colored cans stand under the light where black and white ones seem to have lost their colors in the shadows areas.
