LAURENT DIERCKX

LAURENT DIERCKX

Laurent Dierckx studied painting at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Brussels and at the Academy of Watermael-Boitsfort. He is working on several canvases at the same time, sometimes even a dozen. The artworks are along the walls of his workshop, side by side, as if they were the pages of a huge photo album.

The work of Laurent Dierckx stands out in comparison to the current art scene, not limited to urban art created in the instantaneous and the ephemeral. Life and death, verticality and horizontality, tenderness and violence, structure and excesses… here are the favourite themes developed by the artist, who thinks painting dialectically and creates unity out of contradictions.
