LISTEN TO THE AUDIO ABOUT THIS ARTWORK

[ays_poll id=288]

Lena Dewaegenaere (1989) is a Brussels based artist who is interested in the power of images. She’s examining how to create impact with a minimum or just the right amount of visual elements. She is mainly active as a painter and documentary filmmaker. Her paintings are influenced by the visual language of film, and vice versa.

The main thematic interest in her practice is people and how they relate to a certain place and moment in time. She is exploring the real space and time versus the mental space and time and her work speaks about ways of seeing and interpretation. Her paintings often seem to take place at a still point, outside of time and place as we know it. In her work she is questioning our perception of things and all the different realities.
