Willem Van Hecke

Original Signed Artworks & Limited Edition Prints For Sale

A Belgian figurative artist born in the 19th century, Willem Van Hecke’s art was widely recognised for its depictions of various figures, often through a muted, dark palette – a colour scale that evokes feelings of confusion, and arguably, despair; Walker is just one example of the various works of this kind.

Asides from his figures, Van Hecke was also known for his landscapes and seascapes – these also followed a darker colour scheme, with occasional inclusion of lighter yellow and orange tones.

What is figurative art?

Sometimes known as Figurativism, figurative art refers to sculptures and paintings that are clearly or specifically derived from real objects, making them representational. The term figurative art is often used in contrast to abstract art. However, since the emergence of abstract art, figurative art has come to describe any form of modern art that has strong references to the real world or actual situations.
