Astrid Verplancke is playing a home game here: this West Flemish illustrator/painter from Sint-Eloois-Vijve uses a lot of paint, rough brushstrokes, and unsharpened pencils to create images with a strong emotional charge. Figures, heads, bodies, hands, and poses are recurring elements in her work. Astrid loves scratches and dents, as symbols of pure, unusual beauty.
At work: 03/04 - 07/04
