ARTWORK
Rik Vermeersch (°1949) is a drawing artist, painter and sculptor. He studied at the Higher Institute for Visual Arts, Sint-Lucas in Ghent.
During the period when this painting was created, the female was his main theme. As realistic painter and drawing artist, his works are always stripped from as much ‘subjectivity’ as possible. “The truth as ‘being there as such’, the truth before and after the story, factual and mysterious” (citation from the artist).
Meanwhile the theme of the females was extended to human figures in various appearances; he now also paints landscapes and stills.
Rik on this work: “Her mysterious beauty was my inspiration for many portraits that I painted and drew to her likeliness”.
