THE ARTIST: THOMAS BOGAERT

Thomas Bogaert attended the Animation Film course at the KASK in Ghent. Fascinated by movement, here he learned to paint in a rather cinematic way. One of his teachers Raoul Servais described Bogaert’s work as “An example of a meeting point between cinemato-graphy and painting; not as moving painting, but rather as painted movement.” Movement is central to Bogaert’s work. He records it through an 8mm camera, capturing mostly simple scenes. Sometimes these moving images become part of the work.
