We are pleased that 10 artists with whom Posture Editions has realised books are taking part in the exhibition Painting After Painting at the S.M.A.K. in Ghent, running from April 4th to November 2nd, 2025.
The exhibition brings together over seventy contemporary painters, offering a distinctive view of recent developments and tendencies in painting. Artists today blend past influences with new explorations, pushing the boundaries of the medium. Some of the works tackle narrative-driven themes, touching on personal experiences, politics, identity, gender, and representation, while others explore abstract or formalist languages, testing their relationship with other forms of contemporary visual production.
The ten artists selected also embody the range and depth of Posture Editions’ approach. Each of our books offers a unique perspective on contemporary art, engaging with a variety of wider themes.
