Joël MOENS DE HASE

Joël Moens De Hase is a Belgian artist born in Brussels in 1959.

 

In the background, thousands of photographic fragments of feminine curves. In the foreground, an image filled with intensity, a symbol of intimacy, a face. Joël Moens De Haze's photomosaics were born in 2011. They were quickly noticed by a very receptive national and international audience. This alternative digital art, contemporary with pixel art and pointillism, astonishes and seduces with the originality and aesthetics of its concept.

 

His art reflects our society, anchored in a digital and hyperconnected era. The thousands of tiny photographs that make up his works echo the overrepresentation of images, advertising visions, and even erotic representations that surround us every day. These tiny photographs give the artist's works a depth and a sense of infinity. A two-dimensional reading in both content and form.

 

Joël Moens's artistic approach is part of a veritable race for images, in a specific field of action: the internet. He has searched through more than 20 million images, selected 100,000 of them, and cropped them one by one. He then uses powerful software and repeats certain operations incessantly until all of these particles make aesthetic sense to him.

 

Beyond his concern for aesthetics, Joël Moens seeks to amaze, to take visitors on a journey, and to free the senses and imagination. It is by paying homage to femininity, but also to love, desire, and eroticism, that he manages to transcend form. At the heart of his works is passion, the attraction of man for woman...

Joël Moens illustrates love in his paintings and the diversity of forms that this love can take.
