Jef GEYS
Jef Geys was born in 1934 in Bourg-Léopold in Belgium. He died in 2018 in Genk, Belgium.
Jef Geys has built his work on the constant reconsideration of art and its definition. Deeply anchored in the autobiographical dimension, on the margins of any aesthetic contemplation, his work operates in a constant dynamic a cross between popular culture and the singularization of the banal. Refusing both the sacralization of art and the reproduction of his works in catalogs, he chose to publish his own journal - Kempens Informatieblad - to accompany each of his exhibitions since 1971.
