Floris Van Look
BIOGRAPHY
Floris Van Look (1990, Antwerp) takes on the most cliché-woven medium, oil on canvas, by combining traditional painting with cartoony techniques. The pursuit of uniting exagerrated quantities of oil paint with volumes could take on interesting forms. Looking at the overlooked, his straightforward, thick and rather slow painting style may provide an answer for our loud-advertising, fast-swiping, opinion-swarming way of living.
