Waterloo, BelgiumView all items from this sellerThis striking artwork is a testament to the rebirth of Neo-Cubism, brilliantly executed with pastels on paper. Artist Hans Beers masterfully composes a symphony of geometric forms, with each pastel stroke contributing to a rich texture that is both tactile and visually arresting. The medium's velvety finish enhances the depth and luminosity of the colors, bringing a soft but vivid energy to the composition. This piece reflects a modern twist on the cubist tradition, perfect for collectors seeking a fusion of classical technique and contemporary vision. It is an inspiring choice for anyone looking to immerse themselves in the sophistication of modern abstract art with the unique aesthetic that only pastel can provide.
Little bit about the artist
Hans Beers moved from Zevenbergen near Breda to Antwerp, seeking a house, studio, and gallery. He found them in the quiet Isabella Brantstraat behind the Palace of Justice. "It was clear from the start that I would move to Antwerp," says Beers. "This lawyer district is almost a village. It hasn't changed much over the years. The Anselmostraat and the Lange Lozanastraat are the commercial centers, with silent branches branching out around them, known as 'citizen streets.'"
Together with Sonja Mertens Gallery and Huyse Molensloot, Beers showcases art, exhibiting his works or those of colleagues monthly. In various local spots, like the bakery and print shop, he hangs small works related to home exhibitions. "I can't make a living from it, but every now and then, I sell something. Life is good here," he adds. For his gallery's thirtieth anniversary, Beers exhibits recent gouaches and textile works alongside colleagues' pieces.
Education and Training:
Studied at the Academy of Fine Arts St.-Joost in Breda, completing a 5-year "Monumental Design" course. Obtained a didactic diploma for teaching drawing in Eindhoven. Followed a year of interior architecture at the Academy of Arts in Tilburg and a private course in the restoration of old row paintings in Breda.
Activities:
Founded a youth workshop in North Brabant, providing drawing, painting, and modeling classes for five years. Also offered occupational therapy to seniors for two years. In 1970, Beers moved to Antwerp, founding the Isabella Brant art gallery initially for other artists, later dedicating it mainly to his own work. From 1993, the gallery resumed exhibitions of other artists.

Beers participated in exhibitions in Breda, Heusden, Etten-Leur, Zevenbergen, Amsterdam, Antwerp, Deurne, Borgerhout, Zichem, Brasschaat, Ghent, and more.
