Reporter on a Bicycle

The Belgian Reporter

Since my childhood I have always been a great admirer of The Belgian Reporter. I have looked at the images and read the books many times over. I even have a collection of The Belgian Reporter books published in foreign languages.

In this series of paintings I wanted to pay homage to the work of Hergé the creator of the The Belgian Reporter. I also want to explore how the materiality of paint can convey adventure and youthful energy, things I closely associate with the enduring hero .
