During the last exhibition period of the year, the painter Liesbet Weckhuysen from Haasrode brings a composition of light and colour to TABLOO. Because with light shining on people, you can reproduce their emotions in a portrait or represent the atmosphere of a place in a landscape or city view. In this way, Liesbet wants to touch the spectator, to affect him with beauty.
This fascination for the effect of light and her astonishment about life go back to Liesbet’s passion for natural sciences. Beside her daily job as lector of physics at UCLL (University Colleges Leuven-Limburg) where she is teaching since 2001, she is an active member of the association Kunstcollectief in Oud-Heverlee where she takes courses with Leon De Borger. She also had an artistic training at the Art Academy of Leuven before. Her work is figurative. She paints with acrylics on canvas and pays a lot of attention to perspective. The combination of warm colours, the heavy contrast between light and shadow and rough brush stroke give her paintings an impressionist look.
Liesbet takes part into an art tour at Oud-Heverlee since 2016. You can find more pictures and info about her work on her website: www.liesbetweckhuysen.be
