Yesterday, the exhibition of Serge Baeken’s work opened at gallery Lambiek. I interviewed the artist for a video beforehand, and while we talked, he drew my portrait. When it was done Serge asked if he could draw on my face too. I agreed somewhat reluctant. It was something he wanted to do to all the visitors of the exhibit, but after viewing the results of his efforts on my face, he decided to draw on people’s hands instead. A wise decision. I love the portrait though. It will look great in my study. Thanx, Serge!
