Brecht Vandenbroucke is a Belgian cartoonist and illustrator. White Cube is his debut book, a collection of mostly wordless strips that follow a pair of pink-faced twins as they attempt to understand contemporary art and the gallery world.
Vandenbroucke’s distinctive work blends the highbrow with the low, drawing equally from Gordon Matta-Clark’s site-specific artwork and the Three Stooges’ slapstick timing. With a knowing wink at the reader, Vandenbroucke continuously uncovers something to laugh about in the stuffiness and pretentiousness of the art world.
I subscribe to have the opportunity to see Brecht Vandenbroucke’s work evolve. I agree with his view.
