Frank Knockaert (21-10-1950) - contemporary painter

Frank was a self-taught artist for many years but now he studies painting at the Sint-Lucas Academy in Ghent. He usually works with oil paint, but he also makes smaller and larger works with colored pencil and acrylic. He combines color with the prepared structure of a carrier into (minimalist) work that floats on a feeling, an atmosphere, a memory (à la recherche du temps perdu, as he puts it). The deep and rich (mixed) colors in different layers, the texture and the relief invite you to take a closer look and almost touch his work.
