About the art:

The Thread through the dualistic vision of the art of the artist Mike Hermans is the individualistic search for the ideal identity and the compulsive try to find a mental as well as a physical place in this world. This doesn’t happen without a fight and involves a lot of physical and emotional expression. Hence the use of bright colors and the intense dynamics. Figures and sculptural forms are in a constant fight with themselves and its many potential identities in search of the ideal place.

About the artist:
Mike Hermans (°Antwerp 1971) is raised on the left bank of Antwerp where he still lives today. He attended the school “Sint-Thomas College” from the age of six all the way through high school and studied Latin and math. After high school he studied architecture at the University of Antwerp. At the start of his second year he started working at an architecture office and also founded his own creative studio.  In 1997, just after graduating as an architect and while doing his internship he started working as a cartoonist for several Belgian Newspapers and magazines.
