Marcase lives and works quietly in Olsene, on the banks of the Leie. This is why, the exhibition at the Sofie Van den Bussche Gallery is called "THE STILLNESS OF THE IMAGE". His work is a narrative between culture and reality. In this sense, his work is a meta-language art, a reflection of art on art, where the line seeks the ultimate limits of the medium.
When we think of line in art, we think, for instance, of Michel Seuphor, the pope of purely abstract line, of Sol Lewitt, who created space with lines, or of Lucio Fontana, who cut lines in the canvas. But we also think of Marcase, pseudonym of 77-year-old Marc Vanhaesebrouck, who turned line into an adventure. Marcase, 1978 laureate of the "La Jeune Peinture Belge" prize and 1979 laureate of the "Prix de Rome", is what is called a fundamental painter, who seeks the ultimate limits of the medium.
Marcase does so through the line.
Artists like Marcase deserve more attention. Much more attention. A fundamental painter, he knows how to purge each painting to its essence and
reduce it to a balanced composition of lines and planes, in sober colouring and with his own writing. Intelligent, controlled, repetitive and almost meditative.
His work never gets boring!
