Heyrman Hugo

Hugo Heyrman is a Belgian artist born in 1942. He is a painter, internet pioneer, filmmaker and new media researcher. He studied at the National Higher Institute for Fine Arts in Antwerp. In addition, he owns a Ph.D. title in sciences. In 1995 he was the first Belgian to become a doctor in the art sciences, with a thesis on Art & Computers: an exploratory study on the digital transformation of art, at the University of La Laguna, Spain. He studied the relationship between art and computers. He paints figuratively, abstractly, with postmodern features. The method itself is related to informal painting. There is an influence of photography, film and new media. In terms of content, he is mainly motivated by the idea that a moment of insight can flood an entire life with meaning. The ambiguous, the enigmatic, and psychological turning points are key concepts in Heyrman's oeuvre. In essence, as a painter, he wants to make the unknown visible in the known. (Wikipedia)
