Dave Schweitzer (1972) - The Looney Bin Series

This expressive drawing on paper by Belgian artist Dave Schweitzer (born 1972) forms part of his recognised The Looney Bin series, a body of work known for its playful, provocative titles and raw, emotionally charged visual language. Executed on A4 format, the composition combines vivid blue colour fields with forceful red gestures that drip and intersect across the surface, punctuated by sharp black accents. The marks feel impulsive yet intentional, capturing a sense of mental intensity and controlled disorder that is characteristic of the series. Open white space plays an active role, amplifying movement and rhythm while allowing the work to breathe. The Looney Bin series has appeared in professional auction contexts and reflects Schweitzer’s interest in spontaneity, cultural reference, and the fine line between humour and unease. The work is signed by the artist and is in very good condition, with no visible damage or restoration. A lively and characterful example of contemporary European abstraction, well suited to collectors drawn to expressive works on paper and intimate formats. Sold with frame
