We are pleased to share with you and your friends Denis Lanel’s invitation to the opening of his exhibition "What binds us" on June 6, from 14:00 to 18:00 at Rivoli Brussels Gallery #9 (Quartier Bascule).

Those joining us for the guided tour of the House of European History and for the picnic in Parc Léopold will have the opportunity to continue the afternoon at Denis’ exhibition.

If you can't make it on June 6 or 7, Denis' exhibition will be open on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 14:00 to 18:00 until June 27.

Denis Lanel (HEC89) is a self-taught French artist living in Brussels. Nurtured by his love for art and design since childhood, when he spent his summers at the Cité Radieuse with his grandparents, he rediscovered his passion for craftsmanship and sculpture after a long career in marketing.

At the intersection of design, craftsmanship, and his attraction to the living material that is wood, he embarked on an adventure in search of a language that would permit him to share, both conceptually and sensually, his reflections on connection and finitude.

Inspired by the legacy of modernist geometric abstraction, he uses forms as a means of expression, rejecting the idea of a closed system. This shift opens up his work to a relational, narrative and organic dimension.

The entrance to Denis' exhibition is free, but please register in advance if you plan to come on June 6. This will help Denis with the planning and organization of the opening.
