JEAN GLIBERT. PEINTRE EN BATIMENT
Exhibition of the artist's work at BOZAR, Brussels' Centre for Fine Arts, including BELMONT COURT and CENTRE MAISIN on which Jean Glibert and architectesassoc collaborated. Except from the curators:
"Since the late 1960's the painter Jean Glibert (Brussels, 1938) has pursued a creative logic in his work that is close to that of the architect. From the method of finalising the designs through to completion and reception by the client, his work displays the same principal characteristics. Like an architect, he too works on the constructive image of the environment. Push and pull, stresses and rhythms ... are all present in his work. With Jean Glibert form and matter are not autonomous: colour is never a mere coating; light is always more than a matter of illumination. Form, matter, colour and light always play a role in the organisation and total physicality of the space."
