Gladstone Gallery is set to host a solo exhibition of contemporary painter Aaron Gilbert at its Brussels location from April 22 to June 27, 2026. Gilbert’s work is characterized by its deep psychological and philosophical exploration of the human condition, utilizing figurative painting to navigate complex emotional and societal landscapes. His practice is deeply rooted in art history, drawing stylistic and thematic inspiration from sources ranging from Italian Quattrocento and Byzantine icons to Mexican Retablos and the Expressionism of the Weimar Republic.
This exhibition highlights Gilbert’s rising prominence in the contemporary art world and Gladstone Gallery’s continued commitment to showcasing artists who bridge historical techniques with modern social narratives. By synthesizing diverse global traditions into a singular, nuanced voice, Gilbert’s work offers a timely reflection on how personal identity and historical forces intersect during periods of cultural upheaval.
