‘If we could dance forever’ presents the second solo show of Brussels-based artist Ethel Coppieters (*1996) at Valerius Gallery.
Ethel Coppieters has studied Fine Art at ERG in Brussels and at Ecole des Beaux-Arts de Lisbonne, in Lisbon. Recently she has had solo exhibitions at The Platform in Antwerp, Cohle Gallery, Paris and Galeria Victor Lope in Madrid. She also participated in notable group shows such as RAL 1023, with Demain, in Knokke, Miradas at Cohle Gallery in Menorca, We Thrive Somewhere at Albert Contemporary in Odense, and The Collective II with Visionary Projects in New York. In December 2024 Valerius Gallery presented her works in a solo booth at Art Antwerp.
In this new series of paintings, Coppieters captures women in motion, dancing, flowing, and radiating joy, set against hard-edged, vibrant painted backgrounds. Her figures, often depicted in groups, possess a mysterious beauty: they move delicately, have soft anonymous faces with almost impassive expressions.
Coppieters’ women are celebrated in their authenticity, with bodies that defy traditional ideals of perfection. Limbs stretch and curve in unconventional ways and postures embrace natural imbalance. These figures are not idealized fantasies but real, tangible presences: Everywomen, in all their imperfect, human grace.
Inspired by the women in her life, Coppieters transforms familiar, intimate influences into personal mythologies. Her works are creating a vision of women who are both liberated and profoundly relatable.
