Discover the contemporary work of BASSEZ

Central theme in Bassez' oeuvre is dramatized theatrical beauty. As with the Renaissance artists, Bassez' theatrically draped personages expose a pure and deep emotion in a perfect beautiful body, untarnished by time and society. This exemplifies 'Tabula rasa', or the human as reborn ('renaissance'), pure and timeless. Bassez' classically inspired characters are painted in remarkable detail, using the original techniques of the Flemish and Italian master painters. Mathieu Bassez is known for his ability of painting cloth (drapery) in great refinement.
