Today I want you to meet one of my favorite Belgian contemporary artists, Luc Vervoort.
The works of Luc Vervoort establish a link between photography and painting. The paintings are actually pictures that fade out when putting them to the canvas.
His earlier works, the models, are based on excerpts of existing fashion photography.
From his professional background in internet business, Vervoort is now painting his impressions on how technology, and in particular the internet, is impacting society. Examples are the works ‘People On The Move’ and ‘Fashion Wars’.
The artists that inspire Vervoort are Popart like Lichtenstein, Warholl and more contemporary Belgian artists like Luc Tuymans, Michael Borremans and Bruno Vekemans.
The large size canvas paintings are made in acryl wall paint, using colors that naturally blend well in loft-style places and relaxed chique interiors.
Luc Vervoort is born in 1964, living in ‘s Gravenwezel, near Antwerp, in Belgium.
