Kasper Bosmans

The Specimen Days exhibition focuses on Bosmans' legend paintings, a series of works on small wooden panels, all the same format, which he started in 2013 and is still working on. He has developed an almost naïve painting style, inspired by traditional heraldry, in which he unpretentiously juxtaposes personal, local, art historical and universal elements. The series brings together several of the core motifs in Bosmans' oeuvre as if a form of source code. Some of these motifs often crop up in his sculptural work too. The series is surprising for its candid visual and conceptual references and combinations. Exhibition: S.M.A.K., Ghent, Belgium (25.06.-04.09.2016).
