The mad dog (detail)

Luc De Boes (°1963) is based in Herentals, Belgium.

His artwork arises from things he observes, sees, or feels. Straight on paper or canvas in his studio, some of his work derives from the drawings made on the drawing tablet whilst traveling. These drawings and writings often form the basis to continue working upon…

A selection of drawings are printed on paper or canvas in various sizes. Sometimes a limited series, sometimes a single, unique piece. On these prints, he works with oil paint, charcoal, pastel chalk, various types of paper, glue, and so on. Text is always present in his work, as are the often exuberant, characteristic colors. From that one drawn story, another grows...

The resulting works suggest open-ended stories rather than fixed meanings, inviting the viewer into a space where image, material, and imagination intersect.

All work is signed with my logo, not with my name.

This bird-like figure has been my personal sign since childhood and has been my signature ever since.
