(Cat.)(Draw.) Sergio de Beukelaer [Dutch]

By Sergio de Beukelaer

The Belgian artist Sergio De Beukelaer has been working on a self-confident and uncompromising oeuvre of paintings for over twenty years. Leaf through his archive of sketches, designs and preliminary drawings made between the years 1997-2023. (cat.)(draw.) follows our first book published with Sergio called (cat.) and presents the prequel to the final result. Discover how an artist plots his designs, and handles his archive of drawings. This book gives a greater insight in the heart of the matter behind Sergio De Beukelaer's artworks. Sergio's drawings expose him indiscriminately, hence why he has waited until 2023 to reveal them. "What mathematics is to an engineer, drawings are to an artist. It is the seedbed from which an idea springs. When I am in a gallery or a museum, I want to gain insight and be nurtured. To paraphrase Umberto Eco, a work of art "is a machine for generating interpretations". Sergio De Beukelaer is represented by PLUS-ONE Gallery.
