Claudine Delobbe is native from Bertrix but she has been living in Florenville for many years. She doesn't describe herself as an artist, but only as a person who wants to discover the world that surrounds her and all its beauties. Her meeting with Laurence Froidebise from hte Créateliers workshops in Florenville, 2 years ago, did it and revealed little by little in her a marveling she had one only wish, taking part to it. For her canvasses, she uses the dry pastel technique and acrylic. Her style is very joyful and coloured. Christine Jeanty is native from the Gaume area, and she experienced a few years ago the envy to take a paintbrush in her hand, to draw, to explore something she always had inside her without being able to use it. This art has become a real passion. Her pleasure is to be able to make the experience of the several techniques and materials still learning how to master them a little more at each time. She finds her inspiration by following her intuition and by letting herself go free in her own interpretation. For her canvasses, she uses acrylic and the mixed technique.Free. Open every day excepted for December 25 and January 1st

The Galerie du Comble is pleased presenting you the first exhibition in Belgium that is dedicated to Hervé Georges Ic's RODOX paintings serie, entitled Ad hominem. This series that started in 2006 and that was never discontinued, is today given a new opus. RODOX is the title of a former Dutch unpleasant health magazine. Its old-fashioned aesthetics that is nowadays considered kitsch gave the painter a base material for constructing a visual speech about the artifices of seduction and the business of desire. The gestures, the positions and the expressions of the portrayed models are closer to the codes of Courtly Love, and they offer to the spectators the vision of a theatrical universe in which everyone sees himself the look ad hominem of the other. A suspicious, narrative and funny athmosphere emerges from these canvasses, in the tradition of a genre that was illustrated, notably, by Pietro Longhi or Fragonard. This outstanding collection of works is nowadays among a great number of private collections. It was exhibited at the MASP in Sao Paolo, at the Iragui gallery in Moscow, at the Domi Nostrae gallery in Lyons, at the Creux de l'Enfer in Thiers, at the Le Lait art center in Albi. Frédéric Bouglé, Anne Malherbe, J. Emil Sennewald, Jackie-Ruth Meyer, Pierre-Yves Desaive commented the development of this work, that is the result of a subtle set of iconographic references, of stacking and of transparence. Il engendre un sentiment d’interprétation multiple dans la trame narrative d’un vocabulaire en peinture.

Traditional American music is indeed at the origins of a complete serie of current music crazes. What about going right up to the roots and taking you there, to these intense moments during which pioneers, slaves did all invent? « Musique Acoustique asbl » had its appetite whetted after Old-Time Bluegrass « The Straps » local group's concert that had been attended by over 600 people in 2004 on the occasion of the outing and the promotion of their first CD, « Appalaches ». The success, the atmosphere and the conviviality of htat evening made this association want to do it again in the same authentical and countryside setting of the Roiseau farm in the hamlet of Hamawé, with a somehow changed formula. For this reason, it organized the very first Belgian Bluegrass festival : Hamawé Bluegrass Festival. The festival whose name was turned from"Bluegrass" to "Roots" (raçines), expanded its horizons...Place: ferme du Roiseux, 1 km outside Ethe towards Saint-Léger
