Daniel STERCKX
(Belgium, 1965-)
The artist’s gesture has been active in the plastic arts workshop of Créahm-Brussels since 1986 and has brought into being eyes, mouths, nostrils… faces, and bodies – faces above all. The body is outlined only roughly, the fixed gazes draw all the attention. Materials that are more superimposed than juxtaposed, as the horror, fright, surprise, sadness and disdain become clearer through the strength of the circular movement. The emotion conveyed by these characters drawn by a gesture that is more energetic than aggressive is perceived differently.
