Stef Driesen

Biography

°1966, Hasselt, Belgium
Lives and works in Brussels

Stef Driesen often paints larger-scale washes of greys with hints of colour. Layers and traces come to create new spaces and bodies alike. Translucencies and rounded edges guide the eyes to sense an atmosphere, to touch.

His works were on view in Cultuurcentrum Mechelen; MuZee in Ostend; Museum Dhondt Dhaenens in Deurle. Driesen's paintings are collected by The Saatchi Gallery (London); Zabludowicz Collection (London); MuZee (Ostend); Dayton Art Institute (USA); Madre Museum (Napels) and Neuberger Museum of Art (Perchase) amongst others.

Stef Driesen is represented by Gallery Sofie Van de Velde.
