For "U’ll be fine", the first solo exhibition of Daan Gielis (1988–2023), Keteleer Gallery focuses on a striking and highly meaningful component of his oeuvre: the neon sculptures. Although Gielis worked with a wide range of materials and techniques, neon constitutes a recurring and significant element in his practice, functioning as a visual anchor within a layered and multifaceted artistic approach.Daan Gielis was a Belgian artist whose poetic and deeply personal practice explored tensions between vulnerability and resilience, desire and disillusionment, individuality and connectedness. Shaped by his background in hardcore punk and by living with a chronic illness, Gielis developed a distinctive visual language—often employing neon, sculpture, and installation—to articulate the emotional contradictions and social paradoxes of contemporary life.
Opening 17 January, 2- 6 pm.
The exhibition will be on view 17 January - 28 February, 2026.
