Kris Fierens

Kris Fierens' (°1957) painting and drawing are just about the most difficult. After all, it cannot be made explicit because it does not begin or end with a rationale. Kris Fierens does not start from an image, an idea, an object or a concept; he starts from a never-to-be-repeated combination of the gestural, the emotional and the subconscious. This is the essence of Kris Fierens' work: the power and beauty of a movement as a culmination point of a thought process that cannot be dissected with words.
