Erased and Not Erased, by Fabrice Souvereyns
@fabricesouv
In his series, Souvereyns develops his own visual language, balancing between concrete points
of recognition and a degree of abstraction.
Those who take the time to look closely and read the works attentively discover, through their layered nature, a slowly revealing figuration. Every millimeter of the paper is filled with a uniform pencil tone (hardness), stimulating the viewer’s curiosity. In his autonomous drawings, Fabrice frequently and obsessively fills the page with natural fragments, sometimes erasing them just as fanatically afterward. What remains is a surface of obsessive traces, giving the drawings the appearance of tattooed skins.

Belgian artist Fabrice Souvereyns, born in 1995 in Tongeren, takes us through his imaginary landscapes, where we recognize silhouettes of trees, shrubs, flowers, rocks, clouds, and animals. Through these elements, the drawings reflect both on society and on his personal life.
Souvereyns has previously exhibited at Museum Jan Cunen (NL), Drawing Now Art Fair (FR), Hopstreet Gallery (BE), Otto Gallery (IT), Art Brussels (BE), CC Brugge (BE), House Rudolf Zwirner (DE), Faur Zsófi Gallery (HU), Art Antwerp (BE), Paréidolie (FR), Be-Part (BE), Martin Kudlek Gallery (DE), De Warande (BE), Paper Positions (CH) and Emile Verhaeren Museum (BE).
In 2021, he won the Input/Output competition at CC Brugge (BE), and in 2023 he received an honorable mention for the Grote Prijs Ernest Albert at De Garage Mechelen (BE).
