Studio Visit with Belgian Artist, Pieter Lerooij 

Pieter Lerooij
If you’re familiar with Art Spiegelman’s graphic novel, “Maus,” than you already have an inkling of what Pieter’s visual storytelling can be like. Pieter’s inventive use of anthropomorphic figures to act out the drama of his narratives makes for compelling theater. He is a master draftsman, painter and is not only capable of capturing character emotions, but also the drama of the space. Pieter uses lighting situations in his compositions that reference the old masters of painting and printmaking like, Albrecht Dürer, Rembrandt, and Francisco Goya.
