CURRICULUM

lives and works in Antwerp. Belgium
Van Boxelaere's figurative and abstract works are distinct interpretations of the same world. They are heartfelt observations of schizophrenic societal systems and oppressive developments, of the insane speed with which this life, this planet is consumed. But also of a beauty, a connection, a light, that can interrupt the frenzy, even if for mere seconds. Some situations can be articulated concretely, even require enunciating; in others, much more is said in silence.
