The connections that weave the fabric of our existence are often unseen and not fully understood. Yet, they are there—subtle but vital—embedded in the interstices of our daily lives. The exhibition “If it’s easy for you, it’s easy for me” delves into these quiet yet omnipresent links that bind us to each other and our environment, through the mediums of painting, sculpture, and video.

The four featured artists—two from Brussels and two from London—explore a fundamentally philosophical concept: the idea that the apparent simplicity of objects and situations conceals a web of complex relationships and meanings. Whether it’s an object, an image, or a gesture, no matter how mundane, each carries a multitude of connections, linking past, present, and future; individuals and communities; reality, and imagination.

In a world often overwhelmed by a flood of stimuli and meanings, simplicity becomes a form of resistance. It draws us back to essentials—those fundamental elements that, in their clarity, reveal a deeper truth. The paintings and sculptures in this exhibition do more than represent simple forms or objects; they invite us to rediscover everyday life’s hidden beauty and significance. These works remind us that everything, however seemingly insignificant, is part of a broader, intricate network of relationships.

The exhibition’s design, anchored around tubular structures, is a metaphor for these connections. The tubes act as conduits and supports—channels of energy and meaning—illustrating the idea that nothing exists in isolation. Each artwork participates in a silent dialogue with the others, creating a fluid, continuous conversation.

Here, simplicity becomes a bridge to understanding the fundamental connections that shape our existence. By rediscovering these ties, we begin to see the world not as a collection of isolated entities but as a living network of interdependent relationships. This perspective urges us to rethink our place within that network, reflecting on how our actions, thoughts, and creations intertwine with the broader, more meaningful fabric of life.

If it’s easy for you, it’s easy for me invites us to contemplate simplicity and recognize, in the humblest gestures and simplest forms, the deep-rooted connections that define our shared humanity.

Jérémy Bobel

Jérémy Bobel is an interdisciplinary artist whose work oscillates between popular culture and the exploration of shared languages. His practice centers on collective creation and exchange, investigating the paradoxes of social life, where deeply personal narratives are expressed through universal yet impersonal forms.

Fascinated by the concept of fakery, Bobel draws inspiration from the use of fake materials often seen in set design and cinema. His work delves into the tension between dreams and reality, drawing from cultural references like Z-series films and cartoons. Through the lens of everyday objects and immutable symbols of capitalism, Jérémy’s work interrogates the performative aspects of our social identities. His pieces resonate with a generation caught between social expectations and a shared future in a finite world, where pretense remains a persistent societal weapon.

Tommy Lhomme

Tommy Lhomme’s work bridges the figurative and the abstract, always in pursuit of a sensitive, distilled representation of the world. His practice revolves around the concept of landscape, which he deconstructs and reimagines through digital drawings, then transforms into various mediums such as painting, tufting, and video.

Lhomme’s subjects—flowers, horses, and familiar everyday elements—become entry points for new ways of seeing. These elements, often intertwined, offer pretexts for the creation of images that challenge our preconceived notions of landscape. His works act as fragments of visual inquiry, questioning the boundaries between what we recognize and the spaces we imagine.
