La Stroet
Jorge Hortua
07 September - 07 October 2017
Jorge Hortua doesn’t show the obvious Brussels of guide books, he has spent hours and day walking the streets – la stroet - to discover another face of Brussels, in search of its soul.
Behind every image, we can appreciate a kind of detail obsession. This obsession, sometimes, steers the artist to come back several times at the same place in the hope of seeing the optimal conditions gathered and so, take the picture as imagined before. Consequently, the composition seems natural and simple. Essential and geometric lines, balanced contrasts, and the ideal light are creating perfect conditions for his composition setting up that is the focus of its pictures. “Jorge doesn’t show the obvious Brussels of guide books, he has spent hours and day walking the streets – la stroet - to discover another face of Brussels, in search of its soul.” - P.
