CARNAVALS

Paintings inspired by the video "CARNAVALS" made in 2018.


Taking inspiration from the Old Masters whom he regards as his personal artistic fathers, Carnavals is an allegorical feast portraying the vanity of our society, a feast of chaotic excitement and unadulturated pleasure. Like a child playing with puppets, Roegiers borrows bits, pieces and backgrounds from famous paintings by Rubens, Breughel, Bosch and also Ensor, adds a hefty dose of imagination and lets his creatures run wild to party as if there is no tomorrow, thus revealing our carelessness.
