nk Drawing, 1985
by Jean-Marie Planque

This intense ink drawing from 1985 depicts a solitary standing figure, rendered through dense, repetitive linework and areas of stark contrast. The face is intentionally distorted, built from scratched contours and layered marks, while the background is composed of tightly packed strokes that create a vibrating, almost oppressive pictorial space.

这幅来自1985年的强烈墨水画描绘了一位孤独的竖立形象，通过密集且重复的线条与鲜明对比的区域表现。脸部故意被扭曲，由擦痕状轮廓和层叠笔触构成，而背景则由紧密排列的笔触组成，营造出振动、几乎让人感到压迫的画面空间。

Characteristic of Planque’s late graphic period, the work stands close to Art Brut and post-war European expressionism, privileging psychological presence over physical likeness. The rigid posture, exaggerated hands, and imbalance between light and dark zones convey tension, vulnerability, and an inner sense of isolation. Drawing here functions as a direct act—raw, necessary, and uncompromising.

符合Planque晚期图形时期的特征，这件作品接近“原始艺术”（Art Brut）和战后欧洲表现主义，强调心理呈现胜过物理相貌。僵硬的姿态、夸张的手部以及明暗区域的不平衡传达出紧张、脆弱及内在的孤立感。这里的绘画作为一种直接的行为——粗糙、必然、毫不妥协。

Executed in ink on paper and signed and dated 1985, the work reflects the artist’s deeply personal approach to figuration, where form emerges through persistence rather than refinement. The drawing is framed in a vintage aluminium frame with glass and is ready to be hung immediately upon arrival, making it a strong acquisition for collectors of expressive post-war drawing and Art Brut–related works.

以墨水绘于纸上完成、署名并标注1985年的这件作品，反映出艺术家对形象化的极为个人化的方法，在这种方法中，形式通过持续而非打磨逐步显现。该绘画被镶于一只复古铝制相框并配玻璃，抵达后即可直接悬挂，对于收藏表达性战后绘画和艺术原野相关作品的收藏者而言是一个强有力的购入。

About the artist:

Jean-Marie Planque (1932–1992) was a Belgian painter and draughtsman whose work occupies a singular place in post-war European art. Born in Tournai and later active in Brussels, Planque led a discreet double life: by day a typographer and civil servant within the European Commission, by night a deeply committed and introspective artist.

关于艺术家：

让-玛丽·龐克（1932–1992）是一位比利时画家和素描家，其作品在战后欧洲艺术中占有独特地位。生于滕内，后在布鲁塞尔活跃，龐克过着低调的双重生活：白天在欧洲委员会担任排版员和公务员，夜晚则是一位深度投入、内省的艺术家。

Independent by nature, he deliberately avoided affiliation with any artistic movement, developing instead a highly personal visual language. His work ranges from powerful drawings and expressive figuration to abstract, geometric, and calligraphic explorations, often marked by tension between control and emotional intensity. Drawing was central to his practice—not merely preparatory, but a direct and intimate form of expression.

本性独立的他故意避免与任何艺术流派结盟，发展出极其个性化的视觉语言。他的作品涵盖强烈的绘画与表现性的形象化，甚至到抽象、几何与书法式探索，经常以对控与情感强度之间的张力为标志。绘画是他实践的核心——不仅是准备工作，而是一种直接而亲密的表达形式。

Planque exhibited rarely during his lifetime, making his works particularly sought after today. Posthumous exhibitions and catalogues have since highlighted the coherence and originality of his oeuvre, revealing an artist driven by necessity rather than recognition. His works appeal to collectors who value authenticity, intellectual depth, and the quiet force of an uncompromising artistic vision.

龐克生前极少展出作品，因而他的作品至今更加抢手。死后展览与目录自此强调了他作品的一致性与独创性，揭示了一个以生存需要而非名声驱动的艺术家。他的作品吸引那些重视真实感、思想深度以及不妥协的艺术愿景所散发出的静默力量的收藏家。
