About

Artist: Harold Ancart

Painter, sculptor, b. 1980

Harold Ancart is a Belgian mixed-media artist whose work explores the boundaries between natural and manmade environments. One of his best-known works is his 2017 untitled oil stick and graphite abstraction of wilting flowers, which juxtaposes bold and neutral colors with jagged lines.

Ancart began his academic career studying politics, but after just two weeks, he switched to pursuing Fine Art. He ultimately earned an MFA in 2007 from École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Visuels de La Cambre, Brussels. Later that year, he moved to New York, where he lives and works today. He continues to create innovative paintings, drawings, sculptures, and installations. Ancart’s work has appeared in New York’s C L E A R I N G gallery, the Centre Pompidou-Metz in Metz, France, and the Sifang Art Museum in Nanjing, China.
