Willem Van Hecke

Original Signed Artworks & Limited Edition Prints For Sale

A Belgian figurative artist born in the 19th century, Willem Van Hecke’s art was widely recognised for its depictions of various figures, often through a muted, dark palette – a colour scale that evokes feelings of confusion, and arguably, despair; Walker is just one example of the various works of this kind.

Asides from his figures, Van Hecke was also known for his landscapes and seascapes – these also followed a darker colour scheme, with occasional inclusion of lighter yellow and orange tones.

What is figurative art?

Sometimes known as Figurativism. It particularly describes sculptures and paintings clearly or specifically derived from sources of real objects hence they are representational as the name suggests "figurative art". This term is often used as a contrast for abstract art. However, since the coming of abstract art, this term has been used to mean any form of modern art with strong references to the actual/real world situation.
