Product description
Pastel, Gouache on Paper.
Hand Signed, 1956
An authentic piece of art at an affordable price.
This captivating abstract composition from 1956 combines geometric structures with expressive human figures, blending architectural elements with a sense of movement and depth. The figures emerge from the layered brushstrokes, creating an interplay between form and space that evokes a dynamic urban or industrial setting.
With its structured yet fluid execution, this piece invites interpretation, making it a compelling addition for collectors who appreciate the tension between abstraction and figuration.
Framed in a simple frame with glass and ready to be hung.
Jozef Hoemaeker was a Belgian painter. After his education at the Sint-Amands College in Kortrijk, Hoemaeker studied in 1929 and 1930 at the Saint Lucas Institute in Ghent. He continued his studies in 1930 at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp, where he was awarded three first prizes. From 1933 to 1943, he was taught by Isidore Opsomer. In 1932, he received the "Als Ick Kan" Art Circle award for his still life paintings. He then worked at the Kunstwerkstede Gebroeders De Coene N.V. in Kortrijk and in the stained glass studio of Hippolyte Peene in Bruges. Afterwards, he permanently established himself as a painter in Antwerp.
Although Hoemaeker also painted still lifes and landscapes, human figures were the main theme of his work. His landscapes are empty, devoid of life signs. His entire body of work embodies silence. In 1943, he missed out on the Prix de Rome, but as a result, his "Lady with White Blouse" was purchased by the Ministry of Fine Arts. Another work by Hoemaeker titled "Paul De Vree" is located at the Letterenhuis. He died at the age of 69 in Antwerp.
