🎨⁠ Koen van den Broek Art Antwerp 2022⁠ ⁠ ⁠•⁠ As a starting point for his paintings, Koen van den Broek (BE, 1973) often uses photographs of the countryside and cityscapes, whose composition he transfers basically unchanged to the painting. He paints street corners, shadows or details of objects zoomed in extremely close, thus choosing deliberately for inconsequential places as the subject of his works. ⁠ •⁠ By allowing hardly any narrative element into his work, van den Broek directs the viewer's gaze to the painterly aspects of his painting - the choice of color, the brushstroke, the composition, the relationship between figuration and abstraction. ⁠ ⁠•⁠ Click on the #lininbio for more information⁠ •⁠ Practical information:⁠ Art Antwerp 2022⁠ Thursday december 15 - Sunday december 18, 2022⁠ Jan van Rijswijcklaan 191, 2020 Antwerp⁠ •⁠ Featured Artwork:⁠ Koen van den Broek⁠ Cannes #1, 2022⁠ Oil on canvas⁠ 150 x 200 cm
