Abstract

Birde Vanheerswynghels (b. 1986) is best recognized for her monumental charcoal drawings of semi-imaginary, lush plant worlds. She based these mostly on historical documentation and stories of European ‘explorers’ but eventually went on a virtual journey herself to create new, fictional images. Since 2020, Birde has been working on a series of portraits of her ‘chosen queer family’. The characters in the works are not portraits in the sense that they are made after life, but are based on photographs, a colour, a movement or a gesture. Initially Birde created her portraits in charcoal or green pigment on paper, but in 2022 she made the move to work with oil on canvas.The book ‘A Glimpse is all I need’ brings together a nice selection of works from these last 10 years and includes a thoughtful text by Dagmar Dirkx, especially written for the book.
