"Le Cercle Artistique gives sanctuary to some twenty selected works by Julien Célos. These are picturesque urban landscapes, full of movement and poetry.
At an exhibition in Brighton, he was described as "one of the best artists to interpret the picturesque side of small Flemish towns".
He likes to capture the intimate corners of Bruges, with its small canals and the life of its inhabitants.
In the countryside, he chooses the goose-sitters or the farmer, always with a strong presence of nature.
