Noir 2006

"Noir" is a 2006 painting by the Belgian artist Bram Bogart (1921-2012). It is a prime example of his signature style, characterized by thick impasto and monochrome coloration. The painting's surface is heavily textured, creating a sense of depth and dimensionality that engages the viewer on a tactile level. The absence of color draws attention to the interplay of light and shadow, further emphasizing the physicality of the artwork. Bogart’s exploration of form and materiality is evident in this painting, highlighting the abstract qualities of his art.
