Marilou Dejans - Scène d'Or: at The Wunderwall
Current exhibition
Overview
Marilou Dejans (°1997, Luxembourg, LU) is a Brussels-based Belgian artist working primarily in painting. Since graduating from the Royal Academy of Antwerp in 2019, she has developed a distinctive practice that blends visual with live arts to explore femininity and human connection. Dejans approaches painting as a spatial and performative medium, extending it beyond the canvas. Drawing on a background in theatre, she engages in multidisciplinary collaborations, including Sound of C with accordion player Suzan Peeters (C-mine, Genk, 2025) and scenographic work for Avalon Emerson All Night Long (The Cause, London, 2023). For Horst Festival, 2026 she teamed up with Nel Maertens to create Raising Statues, an installation to reclaim representation of women and femininity in the Asiat Park.
In her recent paintings, Marilou deconstructs the traditional canvas by letting textile flow beyond its boundaries, as the works connect to tell a story of cycles, and connection. (Text: Louise Goegebeur)
