Captivating Aviation: A Vibrant Photo Collection showcasing the widespread fascination with air travel

In March 2025, the art world will be abuzz with the exhibition titled "Thomas Nolf 'As Real As It Gets'" at Be-Part Waregem, Belgium. This captivating showcase, running from the 15th of March to the 18th of May, features a series of photographs by the renowned artist, Thomas Nolf.

The photographs in this exhibition, inspired by Thomas Nolf's experiences with Microsoft Flight Simulator, paint a surreal and almost video game-like landscape. The images are characterised by high saturation of colour and unique compositions, offering a glimpse into Nolf's personal quest, as well as the individuals he has met and observed.

The exhibition is accompanied by the publication of a book by Art Paper Editions. This book, a companion piece to the exhibition, offers an in-depth look at the series of photographs titled "Rolf". It captures people finding ways to indulge their aviation fantasies, as well as the world of plane spotters, which Nolf also explores in his work.

Thomas Nolf immerses himself in the creative process by using archival material from his youth and journal fragments. One such example is his collection of surreal, otherworldly images taken on Maho Beach in Sint Maarten while visiting plane spotting websites.

The book, published by Art Paper Editions, is closely related to the exhibition at Be-Part Waregem. Its publication is a part of the exhibition, offering viewers a tangible piece to take home and continue the exploration of Nolf's captivating work.

So, mark your calendars for this unmissable event, taking place at Belgium's Be-Part Waregem. Don't miss the opportunity to immerse yourself in the world of Thomas Nolf's "As Real As It Gets" exhibition.
