MICHEL MOUFFE Belgium, b. 1957

Michel Mouffe was born in 1957 in Brussels, Belgium. He lives and works in Brussels, Poët-Laval (France) and La Mola (Spain). 

Michel Mouffe’s paintings can be described as sculpture-canvas. At first glance, the canvas may appear monochromatic; however, it is covered by multiple layers of varying colours. This process produces a radiant painting, almost a satin finish. Patience is a significant part of Mouffe’s creative process. The patience is transmitted to the observer through a call for meditation. The metal backbone that emerges from the back of the canvas gives it an organic appearance, bringing it alive.

His works are present in international collections such as Buycksan Group Museum, Seoul, Korea; Axel Vervoordt Foundation, Antwerpen; M HKA Museum of Contemporary Art, Antwerp, Belgium; Ixelles Museum, Ixelles, Belgium; Musée L, Louvain-La-Neuve, Belgium; PMMK Provincial Museum of Modern Art/ Mu.ZEE, Oostende, Belgium; Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium, Museum of Modern Art Collection, Brussels, Belgium.
