Reviews

Erik Pevernagie. Had silence become so heavy and unbearable (100 × 100), oil & metal on canvas
  • "His art, which is undoubtedly matieristic and sensual, also has a real, human message and evokes awareness without compromise." (Nagel, Stuttgart ).
  • “The human being is the focus of his works. At the same time, it is integrated into its natural environment. You could even say that he is sometimes absorbed by his surroundings. On the other hand, Pevernagie seems to deny this as he introduces graffiti into his works. In this way he wants to attest to the loneliness in the world and the alienation in the urban fabric. "(Encyclopedie Bénézit, Paris )
  • “The painter Erik Pevernagie gives people a crucial place in his paintings, because he pays special attention to the world in which he lives. The person who is put back into his environment seems dissolved from the elements that surround him. This environment is created by the artist using graffiti. The delicate strokes of color, the semi - abstract, semi - figurative forms, and the special setting of the pictures help to dissolve the subject, whose life appears only as an appearance. (....). Those figures are under constant tension, as if they are facing something else, another life. ”(Le Vif / l'Express)
  • “For me it is even more the form that you perceive than the painter's idea that surprises and alienates me. Erik Pevernagie obviously starts from a situation in everyday life. The shape, the structure are self-imposing and cause some disturbance. The canvas is almost blank. There are no clumsy details. No technical tricks. I understand that it is the "details", the small objects of life, that surround us and that form the framework through which we see the world, and that stimulate and promote thought. These are the objects that often replace the inner world for many people. ”(L. Krasnova)
