Kasper Bosmans (b.1990, Lommel, Belgium), lives in Brussels and Amsterdam

Belgian artist Kasper Bosmans makes colourful paintings, drawings and sculptures which take their inspiration from heraldry and an inherited visual culture of signs, symbols and emblems. His playful combinations of local traditions and universal myths touch upon the distinctions between arts and crafts, between the decorative and the symbolic. Solo exhibitions of Bosmans were held at De Hallen (Haarlem, 2017), Art Center Centrale (Brussels, 2016), CIAP (Hasselt, 2016), Witte de With (Rotterdam, 2016), Unosunove (Rome, 2015), Spring Workshop (Hong Kong, 2015), P/////akt (Amsterdam, 2015), Wiels (Brussels, 2015) en S.M.A.K. (Ghent, 2014). He was recently nominated fort he Future Generation Art Prize in Kiev. The artist is represented by Gladstone Gallery (Brussels/New York).
