Acrylic on panel, untitled,
Frank Lejeune (1962) is self-taught and has only been working as an independent artist since he was 30. He soon sold his first works of art and then had his first exhibition at the age of 33. The process of painting itself serves as a source of inspiration for Lejeune, whereby a completed canvas can be the basis for a subsequent work. In Lejeune's early work, one sees, among other things, more shutters in which horizontal color compositions shoot over different panels with spontaneous force. Later his work became more and more whimsical and horizontal line compositions gave way to angular and round motifs. The tension between color and form becomes more intense and overlapping surfaces of color arise that almost degenerate into mask-like scenes. Also characteristic are the mainly primary colors yellow, red and blue.
