Fake: is not from Sam Dillemans
This self-portrait by Sam Dillemans, executed in drypoint, reveals the direct and unvarnished approach with which the artist portrays himself. The strong line work and raw texture emphasise the intensity of his gaze and posture, while the etched signature ‘SAM’ in the plate adds a personal mark. Sam Dillemans (Leuven, 1965) is a Belgian figurative painter, draughtsman, and printmaker, trained at academies in Leuven, Mechelen, Ghent, Lille, and Tourcoing. His work is rooted in the human figure and is characterised by expressive power and a strong physical approach to the artistic process.
