Lien Buysens

Lien Buysens (°1968) puts in everything she does and makes; the viewer's imagination is central. She actively and playfully explores the relationship between idea and image and probes the boundaries between what is shown, what is suggested and what remains invisible. Domestic scenes are familiar in her gouaches, collages, etchings or drawings and are abstracted into lines, colours and planes. Repeating the same similar shape several times brings a kind of calmness: the slow and repetitive that the attentive brings about.
