Guy Van Bossche is a remarkable artist who has made a significant impact on Belgian painting since the early 1980s. His body of work, based on both existing and self-conceived imagery, is characterized by a critical and profound exploration of the human condition. Van Bossche describes his work as an ongoing investigation into "the qualities of discomfort." In his artistic practice, he questions our place within a changing world, exploring and reshaping themes such as violence, mental cruelty, censorship, freedom, power, identity, and temporality through the lens of painting.
