Hans Vandekerckhove (BE, 1957) lives and works in Ghent. He is a painter pur sang and focuses on motifs with a deep-rooted tradition in Western visual art. Time, translucency and transparency are present in the dreamy landscapes of Hans Vandekerckhove. Recycling and combining elements of nature, architecture, and figure into a new composition, Vandekerckhove’s visual poetry takes a unique position in the Belgian contemporary painting scene. Hints of surrealism and magic realism are combined with a technique reminiscent of painting in fresco.
