Biography:
Belgian painter born in Germany (Gladberg) in 1926, training at the Dusseldorf Academy, he moved to Belgium in La Louvière in 1948.
He began his career with Surrealism then Lyrical Abstraction when he arrived in Belgium, he then evolved towards Hyperrealism (Figurative). Subsequently, influenced by Pop'Art and Photography, he painted naked female bodies blurred, a bit as if a camera had shaken during the shooting. The theme of the naked woman is almost omnipresent in his provocative and sensual work, magnified by delicate chiaroscuro effects.
In the Press: "Her works, of dreamlike realism, are constructed in an architectural manner. Her compositions are supported by curves which celebrate feminine grace in a sumptuous setting. Her colors dare to create astonishing contrasts with the pearly, tanned flesh , lascivious of his models"...
