Walter Swennen Featured in Group Exhibition at Fondation Van Gogh in Arles
Discovering Walter Swennen at the Major New Exhibition in Arles
Art enthusiasts visiting international institutions will find notable representations of contemporary creators in upcoming seasonal programming. Walter Swennen, an artist presented by the Nicolas Krupp Gallery, is participating in a major group exhibition titled SUSPECTS – Van Gogh, Tricksters & Co. at the Fondation Van Gogh in Arles, France. The exhibition runs from 22 May through 18 October 2026.
What to Expect from the "SUSPECTS" Exhibition
Inspired by the anthropological archetype of the trickster—a subversive and mocking figure found across diverse cultural mythologies—the exhibition explores the work of 33 disruptive artists. Following the path blazed by Vincent van Gogh, these creators favor excess over restraint and dissidence over conformity.
The selected works aim to challenge established convictions, question conventional knowledge, and expand viewer awareness through painting, sculpture, and mixed media. Alongside Walter Swennen, the presentation gathers an international roster of creators spanning the late twentieth century to the present day, including Pablo Picasso, Andy Warhol, Cindy Sherman, Bruce Nauman, and Mike Kelley.
