Six things you need to know about BENOIT PLATÉUS:

1. He lives and works in Belgium
2. He was the winner of the “Young Belgian Painting” award in 2003,
3. Using various media, sometimes mixed – in doodles, scribbles, patchwork and shading- he balances form and formlessness, meaningless scribblings and interpretable image.
4. In this way he introduces a distance between objects and their perception in order to shift them to the other side, in a space with variable dimensions and multiple interpretations,
5. and to question and reflect the viewer’s own perception and consciousness.
6. He is represented by Baronian-Francey in Brussels
