Sophie Nys   
A graduate of Jan van Eyck Akademie, Belgian artist Sophie Nys works with a variety of media and materials. She pushes conceptual and minimalist artistic strategies to their logical and formal limits, whilst retaining their poetic eloquence as subjects derived from everyday life. Her work has been shown at the Zurich Kunsthalle, the Venice Biennale and at the Maniera gallery and the Wiels in Brussels.
