Rik Wouters: 60 Curated Paintings Hendrick Emil Wouters aka Rik Wouters was a Belgian painter known for his radiant colour, loose brushwork, and joyful depictions of everyday life. Born in Mechelen in 1882, he trained as a sculptor before turning to painting, where he developed a bright, expressive style influenced by Paul Cézanne and Henri Matisse. He frequently painted his wife, Nel, in intimate interiors and garden scenes, filling simple moments with warmth and light. Though his life was brief, his work remains a luminous contribution to modern Belgian art. Rik Wouters: 60 Curated Paintings presents a carefully selected collection of his work, offering a focused view of his joyful vision and artistic legacy. Part of the My Private Art Gallery series, this volume presents Wouters’s paintings with careful digital restoration and a thoughtful gallery style format. The aim is to recreate the experience of viewing paintings slowly and attentively, much like walking through a quiet gallery.
