About
Artist, mostly paintings. Moved to France because the light's better and the wine's cheaper. Currently running a studio out of a yellow house that's become weirdly iconic on social media. Not sure how I feel about that.
I paint what I see, but like, more colorful and with thicker paint than probably necessary. My dealer says I use too much paint. My dealer also takes 50% commission, so we're even.
Education
Some art school in Brussels (dropped out). Some time in Paris (too expensive). Mostly self-taught via YouTube tutorials and museum visits. Still paying off student loans for a degree I never finished. Classic millennial move.
Shows
- 2024 - Solo show at Galerie Tanguy, Paris (sold 3 pieces!)
- 2024 - Group show "Post-Post-Impressionism" - Marseille
- 2023 - Salon des Indépendants, Paris (they'll let anyone in)
- 2023 - Coffee shop exhibition, Arles (but the coffee was good)
Collections
Some private collections in Europe. My mom has a few. My brother Theo has the most, but he's biased. Recently got picked up by a collector in Amsterdam who actually paid full price. Still processing that.
