(c) Woman with flowers

A figure embraces a profusion of flowering blooms in this mixed-media work on paper, rendered with vigorous mark-making and layered colour. The composition pulses with warm tones—pinks, purples and reds—whilst darker passages ground the exuberant forms. The artist’s characteristic approach combines expressive line-work with densely worked passages, creating a tactile surface that animates the tender subject. Claerhout’s late work demonstrates his continued experimentation across varied media and his enduring compassion for human connection.
