SPOOR series #5: Céline Mannens + Thomas Janssens
Welcome to the SPOOR Series, a monthly meetup in our screen-printing studio, SPOOR!
Once a month, one of our SPOOR residents curates a talk, presenting their work and engaging in conversation with another visual artist. Afterward, join us for a Drink & Draw, where you can get creative in a drawing session, while enjoying a drink, of course!
Exchange and collaboration are at the heart of this event. Looking for inspiration, ideas, or creative output related to all things 2D media and print? Then you’ve come to the right place.
/ Céline Mannens
Céline is a graphic designer with a focus on editorial design, book design, and archiving. Her work explores the urge to collect and found objects. Screen printing is the ideal medium for further developing her ideas. Through SPOOR, she aims to deepen her practice and collaborate with other artists.
/ Thomas Janssens
Thomas Janssens is an illustrator and visual artist with a fascination for the “poetic undertone.” His work explores the tipping point at which a drawing offers just enough information to invite the viewer’s own interpretation. In 2022, he obtained a Master’s degree in Comics at LUCA School of Arts in Brussels, where his passion for storytelling, with many or few words, was further refined. His drawings move along the boundary between presence and absence, simplicity and complexity, clarity and depth.
/ About SPOOR
SPOOR is at the intersection of image and music, a space where musicians create screen prints, illustrators and designers exchange mixtapes, and visual artists step out of their studios to design LP covers. SPOOR specializes in screen printing, a laboratory for experimentation where connection, exchange, and creation take center stage.
