BIOGRAPHY
Hans Vandekerckhove is a ‘pur sang’ painter who focuses on motifs like the gardener, the girl figure, greenhouses, bridges and similar architectural elements. In his body of work he pays attention on the visual balance between foreground and background, the relationship between the human presence en his surroundings, between the figurative and the abstract. His paintings are often contemplative, ascetic works that contain a certain tranquility but also an attractive eariness. Both as human and as artist he has a strong relationship with nature and as a visual poet he tries to tell a story on that.
