Basile Sepulchre - War lord

Basile Sepulchre（Belgian，contemporary）
“War Lord” – 2018

A striking and expressive original work by Belgian artist Basile Sepulchre, executed in acrylic on cotton canvas. This piece embodies a raw and instinctive Art Brut / Neo-Expressionist aesthetic, combining symbolic imagery, bold linework and vibrant color contrasts.

At the center of the composition emerges a powerful, mask-like figure, reminiscent of tribal totems or urban graffiti culture. The presence of a central eye, geometric teeth, and coded symbols evokes themes of power, conflict and perception, reinforced by the explicit “War Lord” inscription. The background is densely layered with graphic elements, signs and text fragments, creating a rich visual rhythm and an almost hypnotic narrative depth.

The artist’s spontaneous and unfiltered approach results in a highly energetic piece, where each detail invites closer inspection. The use of strong outlines, repeated motifs and contrasting colors (yellow, red, blue and black) gives the work a bold decorative presence while maintaining conceptual intensity.
