Harold Ancart

Harold Ancart is a contemporary Belgian painter and sculptor who explores the rigidity that manifests in varying regions of emptiness where a work is exhibited in a desginated area. Ancart’s artwork is a cross between abstraction and figuration. In his art, Ancart primarily uses found objects, drawings, and paintings. Some of Ancart's art practice involves the use of a variety of mediums such as: ink, charcoal powder, soot, paint, and burned remnants left behind by a burning fire. When working with sculptures, he employees concrete, epoxy resin, steel sculptures, burnt found photographs, and abstract paintings. Ancart’s more recent works of art depicts free-form abstractions of flowers and landscapes to produce a surreal/ science fiction visual representation. Ancart was born in 1980 in Brussels, Belgium and went on to earn his M.F.A in 2007 from The École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Visuels de La Cambre in Belgium. Currently, Harold Ancart lives and works in New York City and Brussels.
