Marc Van Cauwenbergh in Brussels

Last chance: only till October 10
"The work of Marc Van Cauwenberghe combines much of the best of three worlds. An Artist from Ghent, Belgium, who moved to New York City almost two decades ago, Van Cauwenberghe has managed to achieve a highly individual synthesis of processes, forms and ideas stemming from European and American tradition in painting, inflected with an Asian aesthetic ... .." excerpt from the beautiful and interesting catalogue  "Cosa mentale"

Marc Van Cauwenbergh

Friends of the painter invited me to accompany them to the Brussels' opening of  Marc Van Cauwenberg's exhibition "Champs colorés", tonight in Brussels' rue Haute, close to the Sablon.  
Marc, who is originally from Belgium, has lived in New York City since 1994. 
This reviewer eloquently describes Marc's work.
http://www.re-title.com/artists/marc-vancauwenbergh.asp: "At ease with his visual vocabulary, Van Cauwenbergh succeeds in capturing a variety of expressions as his works can range from almost soothingly serene to dramatically fierce. What prevails, no matter what the sentiment, is Van Cauwenbergh’s keen understanding of restrained gesture. In his world less is more and so he sends his images off to materialize in front of each viewer as a unique mirage".
I very much enjoyed his work, with its thin intricate layers of oil paint and an absolutely gorgeous color palet, as I hope you can tell from what I am showing here.  It was also pretty cool to meet Marc, who in addition to being a talented artist, is an interesting and sympathetic man. 
If  you are in town, I highly recommend you make it a point to see Marc's works.
