Bart Ramakers
Bart Ramakers grew up on the banks of the river Meuse, in the shadow of the Van Eyck brothers. From childhood, he drew and painted, inspired by the work of the Flemish Masters, opera, Baroque music and epic tales. His photographic tableaux are the product of classical stories and legends. From a contemporary perspective, they tell myths of beauty and power, passion and betrayal, sensuality and brutality, life and death. Often with a slightly ironic, sarcastic or humorous twist.
