Portrait of 2 passionate draftsmen
Graphic designer Iris Van Robays has a passion for drawing. Every weekend she curates the column "The Quarantiny" in De Standaard, and during the Covid 19 pandemic you might have seen some of her Quarantiny jokes appear on Instagram. During A paper / a day 2020, she took on the role of one of the 31 curators of the day.
Visual artist Fabrice Souvereyns uses a single-toned pencil, supplemented by eraser and breaker knife, to create his own visual language that hovers between concrete landmarks and a level of abstraction. His work is represented by Hopstreet Gallery located in Brussels and Deurle.
