Bogaert Gaston Painting

Painting by Gaston BOGAERT 1918 - 2008 Le secret Oil on isorel panel, signed lower right Countersigned, titled and numbered 89 on the back
Bogaert is a painter who uses symbols and unreal images to create a romantic and intriguing atmosphere. He moves preferably in a world where one feels very well the melancholy and the nostalgia of the past. The relativity of life and the inability to escape fatality are the basis of a rich, refined and changing content. Gaston Bogaert knows how to melt into unique paintings where you can guess a whole philosophy, his very personal vision of the world of the unreal, the dream and the fantastic, The public is hypnotized by a tinted reality and by the very contemporary way of this born artist, who remains painter and poet in each of his creations. The absence of normal human presence arouses in us a liberating desire to know what lies behind its theme and which constitutes the secret of the artist.
