Michel BuylenMaking my past

“On the occasion of the large retrospective in the mudel (Museum van Deinze en de Leiestreek), this book by Michel Buylen (°1953) brings together some hundred works from his entire career, some of which are being published for the first time.

Michel Buylen is a versatile and willful painter who continues to amaze with his amazing virtuosity and his innovative view on age-old subjects such as the nude, the child, the landscape and the sea. Using acrylic, he manages to recreate life, in all its richness and nuances, and to enrich it with his own vision. Each new work forms a window onto a sublimated reality, distant and alienating.”
