Arno Declercq invites British artist Harry Morgan for a Solo Show in Antwerp, curated by Modern Shapes Gallery.
Renowned Belgian designer Arno Declercq is set to host a solo exhibition by acclaimed British artist Harry Morgan at his Antwerp studio. Known for his bold fusion of Brutalist aesthetics and artisanal craftsmanship, Declercq has invited Morgan to present a striking body of work that explores the unlikely union of glass and concrete.
Morgan, celebrated for pushing the boundaries of traditional glassmaking, creates sculptural pieces that defy expectations—juxtaposing the fragility of glass with the raw solidity of concrete. The exhibition, curated by Modern Shapes Gallery promises a dialogue between both artists’ shared affinity for materiality, form, and monochromatic intensity, set within the atmospheric setting of Declercq’s design space.
