Bert Huyghe : : Horizons of Expectation

BERT HUYGHE
"HORIZONS OF EXPECTATION"

OPENING 11 NOVEMBER / 15U - 19U


The work of Ghent-based painter Bert Huyghe is often fueled by small anecdotes. Watching an episode of The Simpsons, or playing football with the local team on Saturday all add up to the pile of ideas that are constantly overflowing his studio. In this approach Huyghe deliberately steers away from serious gestures and makes works that seem to risk inconsequence or are strongly self-relativistic. Huyghe is interested in what the act of painting can presently and personally mean.
