Description
Dirk de Keyzer is renowned for his bronze sculptures that exude a subtle sense of humour, and for which he has received both international and national acclaim. He is one of the best-known artists in Belgium today. Happiness, beauty, eroticism and harmony are distinguishing elements in his work.
De Keyzer specialises in cire perdue (also called lost-wax casting), a labour-intensive process in which a bronze sculpture is cast from a wax model, producing a highly durable result that is capable of withstanding the elements. While modernism relegated bronze as a medium to the background, Dirk de Keyzer swims against the proverbial current as a sort of traditional revolutionary. He consciously chose to restore craftsmanship, technique and humour to their former position within the contemporary art scene.
De Keyzer’s work makes us aware of the lightness of our existence; his sculptures portray the human yearning for happiness, beauty and harmony and – of course – disarming humour as one of the key ingredients for the enjoyment of life.

Presentation
Born in 1958 in Sleidinge, near Ghent in Eastern Flanders, Dirk de Keyzer studied at the Royal Academy of Eeklo.
He traces his own path in the world of art and came to fame in the field of bronze sculpture, which led him to win the "Galerie et Artistes" prize in the late 80's.
Dirk De Keyzer's work has the peculiarity of recalling brief magical moments where the bodies and faces of his dynamically painted characters, come to life. The fantasy world that he has created is animated by gorgeous women, eccentric looking men, jugglers, ballerinas, knights and travelers, surprised by their daily activities in their extraordinary universe.
Dirk de Keyzer's creation is a portrayal of humor and simplicity. His imaginative characters are unique, extraordinary and wonderfully magical.
