'Real Life' is a contemplative exploration of Ilse D’Hollander’s poetic abstractions, where color, form, and silence converge. Presented and curated by Wells Fray-Smith in collaboration with Gallery Sofie Van de Velde, the publication brings together works by multiple artists in a dialogue across generations and geographies. Through figuration and abstraction, the book traces painting’s porous relationship to reality, where pigment and image, observation and illusion intertwine. At its core, D’Hollander’s calm yet profound vision transforms everyday scenes into quiet moments of reflection.

Wells Fray-Smith is a London-based curator currently working at the Barbican Centre. She is a co-curator of Unravel: The Power and Politics of Textiles in Art, an exhibition exploring textiles in relation to themes such as imperialism, exclusion, resilience, love, and hope. The exhibition features works by fifty international and intergenerational artists, ranging from hand-crafted objects to large-scale installations, reflecting the broad scope of the project she co-curated. In March 2024, she led a public curator tour of Unravel at the Barbican. Fray-Smith has also written curatorial texts for exhibitions, including Christopher Colm Morrin's solo show notes (January–February 2024) at Gallery Sofie Van de Velde in Antwerp. Her writing also appears in material related to Morrin's exhibition Witnessing Change. Her contributions to international exhibitions highlight her active presence within contemporary curatorial practice. Ilse D'Hollander (1968–1997) was a Belgian painter whose concise yet profound body of work continues to captivate audiences for its quiet emotional intensity and refined formal language. Educated at the Higher Institute of Fine Arts in Antwerp, D'Hollander developed a deeply personal vocabulary that bridges abstraction and representation. Her palette — muted yet luminous — reflects the atmospheric subtleties of the Flemish landscape and the psychological depth of solitude. Though her career was tragically brief, her paintings have gained significant posthumous recognition, exhibited internationally at venues such as Sean Kelly Gallery (New York), and Gallery Sofie Van de Velde (Antwerp). Today, D'Hollander is regarded as one of Belgium's most distinctive voices in contemporary abstraction.
'REAL LIFE' – ILSE D'HOLLANDER
Real Life: a dialogue across generations of painting.
'Real Life' is presented and curated by Wells Fray-Smith and published in collaboration with Gallery Sofie Van de Velde on the occasion of the group exhibition Real Life. The publication brings together works by Ilse D’Hollander, Lois Dodd, Christopher Colm Morrin, Jesse Murry, Heidrun Rathgeb, Peter Shear, Trevor Shimizu, and Frank Walter, creating a dialogue across generations and geographies around painting’s enduring engagement with lived experience. The book explores how these artists use painting ― through figuration and abstraction ― to approach reality in a porous and poetic sense, blurring boundaries between pigment and image, illusion and observation, and the tangible and the transcendent. At its core is Ilse D’Hollander’s calm yet profound vision, revealed through her paintings and sketchbooks from 1988 onward, offering intimate reflections on everyday scenes that transform the ordinary into the contemplative.
