Presentation
Brecht Evens studied at the Saint Luke Higher Institute of Fine Arts in Ghent. He released his first album Les Noceurs at the age of 24 and received the Willy Vandersteen Prize in 2010 as well as the Audacity Prize of the Angoulême Festival in 2011.
This young person is emblematic of a new generation of young authors, gifted and cultivated, caught in the grip of this bicultural country. In 2011, he published his second book, Les Amateurs, a vitriolic critique of the small milieu of provincial contemporary art. His third book, Panthère, was released in 2014.
A terrifying closet set in a little girl's bedroom, living alone with her father. This fable deals with the demystification of childhood emotions. His art borrows in turn from the great masters that are the Douanier Rousseau, Matisse, Chagall, Brueghel the Elder, Van Eyck, Giotto but also from the Persian miniature.
It is moreover by observing the cubist and expressionist paintings that he began to deconstruct perspective in order to adapt it to the atmosphere of his stories.
