Benjamin Moravec - Happy together & mourir ensemble
07 May - 18 June 2006
Deweer Art Gallery introduces the young French-Czech painter Benjamin Moravec with a one-man-show entitled 'Happy together & mourir ensemble'. The title refers to themes that troubled the artist when he was a child, such as dying together with unknown people and paradise. The artist started his training in Lyon and is currently working in Nürnberg, out of reach of the Leipziger Schule and the likes. In a fascinating way Moravec combines a purely contemporary approach to visual content with the traditional oil painting technique of his 19th century ancestors. A one-man-show with recent canvasses, showing this painter's original talent, great feel for composition and authentic gesture.
