Biography: Luc Perot (Namur 1922 - 1985) is a Belgian post-expressionist painter. Trained at the Academy of Fine Arts in Namur, student of Albert Dandoy and Paul Delvaux in La Cambre (Brussels) in the monumental painting workshop. In 1950, he became a professor at the Academy of Namur. Influenced by Flemish expressionism (Rik Wouters...) but also Belgian symbolism (Léon Spilliaert..) and Henri Matisse. He expresses himself through lyrical abstraction tinged with symbolism where dream, mystery and colour dominate. His works are bathed in a singular intimacy, a certain plastic force, finding inspiration in his life and the world around him. Luc Perot, indifferent to fashions, manages to move without transition from black and white to the most intense colour, from a neutral touch to a feverish attack, his large production testifies to this. From 1945 he exhibited in Namur and in all the regions of the country (Ostend...) including, in 1974, in Laethem-St-Martin, alongside Léon Spilliaert and Paul Delvaux, two undisputed masters of Belgian painting. He also presented himself at different times all over France but also in Poland, whether in collective or individual exhibitions. He has finally received several prizes and distinctions. His work is present in many collections, both private and public.
