(c) Harvesting

A figure in labour is depicted with exaggerated, angular forms rendered in mixed media, dominated by sweeping gestural marks in blue, black and ochre tones. The composition conveys movement and physicality through its dynamic line work and expressive handling. The palette shifts between cool and warm registers, creating visual tension that mirrors the effort of the subject. Claerhout’s work, characterised by compassion and formal invention, draws from his close observation of daily life and labour among the communities he served.
