Andrea Mastrovito Decorates Brussels Chapel with Wood Inlay Cycle
Italian artist Andrea Mastrovito (born 1978 in Bergamo) has completed a permanent installation in the renovated chapel of the Foyer Catholique Européen in Brussels, less than a kilometer from the European Parliament. The work, titled GV 14:16-17, consists of a cycle of ten wood inlays covering the chapel's walls. The Foyer Catholique Européen is a non-profit lay organization founded in 1963, funded by its members, serving as a meeting and reflection center for a European Catholic community. Mastrovito's piece responds to Brussels' multicultural context, using wood intarsia and collage alongside his signature drawing style.
