Product description
Gouache on paper. Hand signed. 1952
An authentic piece of art at an affordable price.
Abstract gouache composition by Jozef Hoemaeker, dated 1952. This vivid work features intertwining organic and geometric forms set against a textured backdrop of purples, browns, and chartreuse yellow. The layered transparency and calligraphic gestures create a rhythmic tension throughout the piece. The artwork bears the stamp of the artist’s atelier on the reverse.
Jozef Hoemaeker (Izegem, July 11, 1911 - Antwerp, August 21, 1980) 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 his hometown of Antwerp.
