Laurens Legiers b. 1994

Biography
Laurens Legiers

° Antwerp, BE
Lives and works in Brussel, Belgium.

Graduated from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, Antwerp in 2020.

De Clercq participated in the WIELS Residency program of 2022-2023.

 

The work revolves around two thoughts. On the one hand, he fishes in the pool of (art)history: De Clercq is inspired by folklore art, sees the Georgian painter Niko Pirosmani as one of his masters and recognizes himself in the stories of Gerard Reve. On the other hand, he responds to our everyday reality, he paints the landscape of his life. He interweaves autobiographical elements with images from the popular visual culture of Netflix. He pays a different kind of attention to everyday images and stages things as he sees them, in books or on TV.

Felix De Clercq is represented by Gallery Sofie Van de Velde and Greengrassi (London).
