Roger Raveel

Roger Raveel’s work is commonly associated with the Pop Art movement, and his style evolved throughout his career, encompassing both abstract and figurative art. Raveel’s work was renowned for blurring the lines between reality and fiction - a lot of the objects that he drew upon for his paintings were every-day objects that you could expect to see, but he would merge subjects such as cyclists, birds and shapes: the level of the abstractions within his painting would vary with each output. Raveel was heavily influenced by fellow artist, James Ensor; one of his most famous works, titled Memory of My Mother’s Deathbed, drew comparisons to Ensor’s own similarly titled work – My Dead Mother.
