Freddy van Dyck artwork • statue • sculpture • previously for sale Een wilde rit

The Belgian painter, graphic artist and sculptor Freddy van Dyck received his training at the academy and the National Institute for Graphics in Turnhout. His oeuvre shows a preference for figures - especially nudes, dancers, portraits, mother and child scenes - and beach scenes. Initially he used a sober palette of earth tones for his paintings in a modern romanticized style; a stronger coloration followed, partly under the influence of the application of collage techniques. His work is influenced by his uncle Albert van Dyck (1902-1951), painter and sculptor, and one of the most important representatives of animism in Belgium.
