Kristof Van Heeschvelde resolutely opts for painting in which he focuses on technical mastery on the one hand and social observations on the other. With multiple layers and an eye for texture and formal details, he creates a world that in terms of form and technique refers to the Old Masters and is a razor-sharp observation of our society. Van Heeschvelde's work focuses on the behavior of the homo sapiens and the world he created for himself. Using a collage technique, Van Heeschvelde puts together various elements that at first sight have nothing to do with each other and that cannot or will not enter into a relationship with each other. At the same time, these composite realities form a razor-sharp observation of human being and action. He counteracts that critical eye by letting humor and a naive color palette creep into his work. Van Heeschvelde paints on large canvases (210 x 170) which he hangs freely in the room, not stretched. In this way the painting comes loose from its medium and the dimensions are extended beyond the frame of the canvas.
