Artist Statement:
As You may have noticed by
looking at the examples of my
work on the right, I like
drawing and painting in a
realistic way, but most of my
paintings have that surreal
touch to it (maybe that's some
kind of a "Belgian gene" ?)
I was born in 1960, and
studied Latin, Mechanics and
finally ended up in Art
School, because drawing and
dreaming was the main thing I
was always doing during my
school years... (hope my
daughters never read this!)
Since I do love machines also,
I started to work in a garage
as a panelbeater after leaving
school, doing a lot of
sculptural work...
Having seen a lot of rusty
oldtimers, I wanted to paint
those beautiful colours that
make a carwreck unattractive
to most people.
You can find some examples of
these on my website
(http://www.lembrechtsart.be)
that are no longer for sale.
Not only cars, but all things
that have a used look are of
interest to me, since these
items are more interesting and
fun to paint than new things.
At the other hand, those new
and shiny objects have their
own appeal, since they need to
be perfectly reproduced.
That'...
