About the Item

Luc Dratwa is a Belgian photographer, born in 1958 and currently living in Brussels. Uncompromisingly self-taught, his rigorousness and perfectionism ally themselves with a graphic oeuvre and a narrative spirit, bringing to his works a seldom seen force. His influences go from Baroque paintings to contemporary photographers, and have made a quite specific style arise: from the tumultuousness of the world, loud and disorganized, he makes images appear that are constructed with rigorousness and clarity, where everything is harmony, perfection, and nothing is left to chance. The city has long been his favoured subject, more specifically New York, which he manages to represent like never done before. Exhibited in the four corners of the world, Luc Dratwa’s works never leave someone indifferent. Sometimes they invite the viewer to travel, but more often they invite him to introspection. The complexity of humanity and the impossibility to define the concept of life lead him to only let the traces of human creation pose in front of his lens. Luc Dratwa has been exposed throughout the world in many art galleries and salons. His exhibitions are always complete expressions of the artist. The painting shown on the wall may not be proportional to the room size.
