Jef Lenaers

Jef Lenaers was born in De Kempen, Belgium in 1943. He studied at the academy of art known as Beeldende Kunsten Mol, from 1962-1969. He is now a member of the famous Belgian art group “Hat Pallet”.

He paints in a colourful style, which imparts harmony to his paintings. His intense interest in shapes and patterns helps to form the basis of the work he subsequently constructs. This is a significant factor in creating his abstract work.  The different textures achieved in his canvasses are achieved by the use of both brush and palette knife.

Jef is also a keen ceramicist in the modern style.  His work has received high acclaim.  Apart from his abstract work, Jef’s portfolio includes flower painting, city scenes, harbour impressions and landscapes.
