We are delighted to invite you to a new cultural and inspiring evening, devoted to art, transmission, and passion.
We will have the great pleasure of welcoming you on Tuesday, February 10, at the Warwick, in the company of Xavier Tricot, Belgian art historian, artist, and writer, internationally recognized as one of the foremost specialists on James Ensor.
Born in Ostend in 1955, Xavier Tricot has devoted more than thirty years of his life to the in-depth study of the work and career of James Ensor. Author of the Catalogue raisonné of the Paintings of James Ensor and numerous reference works, he has played a major role in the understanding, recognition, and dissemination of this extraordinary artist’s work.
Curator of many exhibitions devoted to James Ensor in Belgium and abroad, Xavier Tricot combines acknowledged scholarly rigor with an artistic sensitivity nourished by his own practice of painting and poetry.
During this evening, he will speak with passion about James Ensor: his singular life, his bold and visionary work, and his fundamental role as a pioneer of modern art. An informed and vivid perspective on a free and profoundly provocative artist.
