Description: Fred Bervoets (b. 1942) is an established name in the Belgian art world. His often wall-filling and crowded scenes reveal his predilection for the tragicomic, grotesque and dramatic. Fred Bervoets - 2019-2022 presents work in which the artist reaches back to historical reference points such as James Ensor, Vincent van Gogh and Pieter Bruegel. The book also brings together countless self-portraits, studio images and everyday scenes, each and every one an eclectic work of exceptional pictorial ingenuity and expertise. Fred Bervoets - 2019-2022 is published to mark the artist's eightieth birthday and includes a survey of Bervoets' most recent work, which became more powerful and poetic than ever during corona times. With a text contribution by Paul Huvenne, former director of the Royal Museum of Fine Arts Antwerp and an epilogue by Harry Rutten, chairman of the Museum De Reede, Antwerp
