Graphic Artists and Creators from Leuven
There were thirteen of them, all from Leuven and its surroundings, brought together by their shared passion for art as followers of Paul Van Eyck,
their teacher at SLAC in Leuven.
One of them was Jan Smets, who had been drawing and painting since his early youth and, like his artist comrades, was deeply immersed in
the world of art.
Up until April 2023, the group met regularly at Atelier Blauwhof in Kessel, where all the requisite materials and equipment were available.
Every member of Grafikuleus had their own speciality, but they often worked around a single theme during those creative weekends, each in their unique way, through the media of etchings, engravings, still lifes, drawings, etc.
They continued to explore and experiment with new techniques: screen printing, video, ceramics, sculpture and painting. In so doing, the boundaries between artistic disciplines became blurred.
You can find out about their work on their blog.
