DAVID HYTONE - AS MUCH BY HEARSAY AS BY FACT
14 Nov 2025 - 4 Jan 2026 As Studio23 presents the second solo exhibition of David Hytone, we are delighted to witness the soulful evolution of his artistry. Following his participation in the MacDowell Residency Program, Hytone emerges with a renewed clarity of vision—continuing to captivate us through the magnetic pull of his magical, surrealistic world.
Surrealism has long been a vital thread in the Belgian artistic landscape, with figures such as René Magritte paving the way for new explorations of perception and reality. Within this tradition, Hytone’s work resonates deeply—his compositions oscillate between illusion and introspection, inviting us into the poetic tension between the self and its many facades.
We are proud to present a selection of new works that mark both an expansion and a refinement of his practice. Each painting reflects his meticulous process and profound conceptual inquiry, yet together they reveal an artist increasingly comfortable navigating the fluid boundaries between memory, identity, and imagination.
With this exhibition, Studio23 reaffirms its commitment to showcasing Hytone’s distinctive voice within the European art scene. The quality and emotional depth of these works make them not only a feast for the eyes but also a coveted treasure for collectors.
