BART KUYKENS - Photographer
Belgium-born Bart Kuykens successfully navigated both the art world and commercial photography since the outset of his career. Following the global success of his automotive art books ‘A Flat6 love affair’, he has attracted the attention of world-class actors, musicians, and media personalities who have become subjects of his grainy, visually-rich and powerful black and white portraits.
Welcome to my page in the Spring issue of b500.
What have I been doing since last time? Planning, planning, planning.
I’ve been preparing and reorganising for my postponed exhibitions from 2020. This has taken a lot of time as you can imagine and so far I have a few confirmed plans, but as we now live, these plans will have to be tentatively in the diary until we all know for sure we can travel between the countries.
I’m hopefully going to have an event in June in the UK, which will be the first of my plans for 2021. I am then due to be in Limassol, Cyprus for an exhibition in September as well as another exhibition of my works in Athens, Greece also currently planned for September.
In October I have a large exhibition in my home country of Belgium, which will be held in Brussels. These are my so far
confirmed plans and will all hopefully go ahead, as I have been waiting and replanning these for sometime, and I will provide more information once things are all final.
I then have some plans to go back to the States later in the year, or into early 2022 as needs be.
There I will be exhibiting pictures from my book series, with three different available print sizes and across several cities. More on this as I begin to plan the tour.
Other than this, I have of course been out shooting film wherever I can safely do so in Belgium for different projects and keeping busy throughout the lockdown period.
I look forward to bringing you a more comprehensive update in the Summer issue, and meantime please check out my website and book series at the links below.
