Hox Gallery presents Philippine d'Otreppe

Philippine d’Otreppe is a Belgian artist based in Brussels working across drawing, figurative painting, and ceramics. She explores the mundane and the absurd with humour and sensitivity, drawing from daily life and the places she travels through. Her process often begins with discreet sketches made on the go—quiet acts of observation that later evolve into intuitive compositions, fluidly shifting between mediums.

<em style="font-size: 14px" data-start="0" data-end="17" Her paintings and ceramics dialogue with one another, blurring the boundaries between image and object, function and form. At the core of her approach is a spontaneous sensibility, where humour becomes a subtle form of resistance—a way to challenge established hierarchies and draw attention to what often goes unnoticed.

A quiet nostalgia runs through her work – not as a longing for the past, but as a reflection on how overlooked fragments of everyday life carry memory. With a delicate balance between observation and transformation, Philippine d’Otreppe offers a poetic lens on what surrounds us, celebrating the richness of the ordinary and uncovering depth in the smallest details.
