Brent Wadden Best Before

Nov 7, 2025 — Jan 10, 2026 | Brussels

Opening on Friday, November 7, 2025 from 5 to 8 pm

Almine Rech is pleased to announce two solo exhibitions by artist Brent Wadden, on view from October 18 to November 29, 2025 at Almine Rech Paris, Turenne (Front Space) and from November 7 to January 10, 2026 at Almine Rech Brussels.

Wadden’s practice unsettles categories. His handwoven textiles, stretched onto canvas, move between painting and craft, between the studio and the loom. The grid of warp and weft becomes a place where color and line accumulate, where small irregularities grow into structures of their own. Each work contains both order and disruption, precision and accident, repetition and deviation.

For Wadden, weaving is not only the making of cloth but the production of form — a way to push material to its limit, to discover meaning in imperfection, to let process speak as powerfully as image.

Each of Wadden’s new works is constructed from three panels. Each panel, in turn, is divided into six sections. A rigorous structure, a pared-down palette, a concentration of motif. By exhausting its limits, form becomes force. By exhausting material, a deeper necessity is revealed.
