Belgian painter and sculptor Francis Dusépulchre has exhibited both in Belgium and abroad, and has won awards and distinctions throughout his career. After expressing himself through figurative painting, in 1969 he embarked on the path of constructed abstraction and opted for a compromise between painting and sculpture, favouring innovative materials such as masonite, fibre optics and Plexiglas. The result is a series of painted reliefs in which the artist plays subtly with light and shadow, handling concave and convex surfaces with obvious efficiency and making fine, subtle incisions. His work, modern and powerful, is enriched by architectural integrations, notably for the Mariemont Museum, the Beaux-Arts metro station in Charleroi and the Nivelles Cultural Centre.
