KAREL ROELANTS (1921 - 1999) - "Paesaggio astratto con fila di alberi" - litografia - firmata a matita - numerata 19/125 - 56 x 39 cm Karel Roelants is a Belgian artist born in Antwerp. He was a painter, draftsman, decorator, graphic designer, and sculptor, characterized by abstract lines and a poetic touch. His humanistic vision of life and his social commitment gave rise to a five-part series of drawings titled *Miserere* (1985–1993). Regarding his work, the press has noted that K.R.’s use of the dialectical contrast between black and white—as well as the tension between reality and dreams—is truly unique. In his depictions of landscapes, cities, and ports, graceful, overlapping networks of lines obscure reality, transforming it into semi-abstract impressions—all within an ebb and flow of lyrical lines. This results in drawings that function like magnetic fields, composed of luminous planes and dark recesses. Within these spatial effects, there is no room for the accidental.
