NEL AERTS

Artist Nel Aerts is one of the upcoming Belgian talents. She works with different mediums: performance, painting, drawing, sculpture, collage and artists’ books, reflecting the world around her and her position in it as an artist. Aerts shows a great sense of humor in the way she connects her environment and art world to the poetic, funny, tragic and absurd world around her. Her work is figurative and she uses often comic titles and bright and seemingly naive use of form and color.

Nel Aerts is represented by the Carl Freeman gallery in London.
