Benoit Adam, Brussels (1979), communicates, among other things, through a unique approach to painting and drawing. Images—more specifically, portraits—emerge from his thoughts as dynamic, colorful compositions that sometimes verge on disappearing due to the layering of paint and washes. Nothing is left to chance; everything plays out between balance and chaos. His complex compositions draw on his observation of art history and an energy he attempts to define. The organization of his space seems spontaneous but is, in reality, the result of the sum of his experiences. Benoit is also the author of powerful texts where the writing also pretends to be automatic. Between gravity and satire, a trace left for those who can immerse themselves in it to discover.
