Sfeir-Semler Gallery Hamburg, 2015
Bert de Beul (b. 1961, Gent) lives and works in Antwerp. His paintings and photographies show still-lifes, landscapes, other spaces and people without depicting a palpable situation. By de Beuls choice of detail, perspective and color application, his works rather appear as a blink of an eye frozen into a frame. His landscapes are deserted and the portrayed seem remote. Thus, the reality de Beul presents is rather eerie and blurry and seems neither concrete, nor current to the spectator.
Bert de Beul has partaken in many national and international exhibitions in museums and galleries since the 1990s, among others at the Kunsthalle Rostock, the MUHKA Antwerp or the Museum of Contemporary Art Helsinki. His works are represented in the collections of the Finnish National Gallery Helsinki, the Museum van Elsene Brussels, the MUHKA Museum van Hedendaagse Kunst Antwerp and the P.M.M.K. museums voor Moderne Kunst Oostend.
