L’ Office d’Art Contemporain intends to present in the international arena the work of visual artists working in the French Community of Belgium and Brussels, the capital of Europe. This project was initiated 4 years ago the summer of 2009 at Rauma Art Museum and it then moved to Galleria Maaret Finnberg in Turku (Finland) and later to Supermarket Art Fair in Stockholm in February 2011.

The artists of L’ Office d’Art Contemporain with whom I have co-operated already for a long time have different origins: Germany, Portugal, France, Finland, Spain, Wallonia and Brussels. These artists have their own artistic and social networks that form the current network of L’ Office d’Art Contemporain.

The exhibition explores various tendencies in artistic expression, bringing together a range of individuals whose immersion in the contemporary art world leaves the visitor free to move in the world of each artist.
