Hervé Martijn

Visual artist, Belgium, 1961

Hervé Martijn ‘shows’ what we previously like to ‘hide’; sadness, fear, shame, but also drift, desire, obsession, etc... Mental turbulences are plastically translated into intimist paintings. Introspection is clearly at the core of his imagery. The painter creates a hermetic atmosphere. His figurations exhibit their deeper ‘I’ but always keep us at a certain distance. Typical are theatrical staging and a strong chiaroscuro effect. Painterly and substantive ‘layering’ go hand in hand here.

Galerie Lloyd is a contemporary art gallery located in the centre of Ostend, across Ensor Museum. Our focus is on painting, drawing and sculpture, organising mainly solo exhibitions.
