Art critic Jean Dypreau: "As of 1957, Bert De Leeuw moves into the sphere of painting with an incredible ease and control." More of a meditative calm than a gruelling battle with the material. No trace of the brightly coloured, rapid brush strokes of the 'cinematic' billboards he makes by day for the Antwerp cinemas.
