Basile Sepulchre - Warless

Basile Sepulchre (Belgian, contemporary)
“Warless” – 2019

Original painting by Belgian artist Basile Sepulchre, created in 2019, executed in acrylic on cotton canvas. This large-format work (50 × 70 cm) embodies a raw and expressive visual language inspired by Art Brut and urban neo-expressionism.

The composition features a stylized, almost mechanical human figure, rendered with bold black outlines and fluid color transitions in blue, green and yellow tones. The surface is animated by spontaneous drips and layered textures, reinforcing the immediacy and authenticity of the gesture.

Text elements such as “War”, “Field”, “Give Happiness” and “Warless” interact directly with the figure, creating a striking contrast between violence and hope. The work explores themes of inner conflict, transformation and the aspiration for peace, combining primitive symbolism with contemporary street-art influences.

The dynamic interplay between drawing, writing and color gives the piece a strong narrative presence, while maintaining a deliberately raw and instinctive aesthetic.
