Embassy of Uruguay in Belgium

The exhibition, which ran for three weeks, featured sculptures, paintings, ceramics, and other works by the artist. The exhibition also coincided with the celebration of twenty years of collaboration between Solari and the gallery. A native of Rosario, in the department of Colonia, and a resident of Belgium since his youth, the artist has had an extensive career in that country, where some of his work is installed in public spaces.

The event was attended by approximately 60 people, including representatives from the business community, art collectors, and members of the interested public. During the event, the Embassy presented a selection of wines from four Uruguayan wineries with a presence in the Belgian market—Pisano, Progreso, Garzón, and Deicas—offering attendees the opportunity to discover the diversity and quality of the country’s wine production. For their part, the organizers included Uruguayan beef in the lunch served during the event.

During the event, Ambassador Pablo Sader delivered remarks alongside Edmundo Solari and the gallery’s owner, Audrey Plunus, in which he highlighted the artist’s career, the quality of his work, and his contribution to fostering cultural and human ties between Uruguay and Belgium.

Participation in this initiative made it possible to link the promotion of Uruguayan visual arts with the marketing of domestic products in the Belgian market, bringing the country’s cultural and culinary offerings to an audience of businesspeople, collectors, and leading figures in the art world.
