WORK OF ERIK PEVERNAGIE :

strata and nationalities is a
tricky business. However Erik

alienation. "
The paintings of Pevernagie

The main theme in his work is
man in his environment. The
painter scans people and
situations, juggles with
colours and provokes emotions.

Artist Reviews:
* BENEZIT: DICTIONNAIRE DES
PEINTRES(Paris,France)
"Man" stands in the heart of
his work: man integrated in
his natural environment,
sometimes even absorbed by it.
On the other hand he seems to
deny it, as Pevernagie
introduces graffiti in his
paintings. So doing he gives
evidence of the solitude of...
