Koen Van Den Broeck Sold at Auction Prices

b. 1973 -

Van den Broek was born in 1973 in Bree, Belgium.

Starting from his training as an architect at the Catholic University of Leuven (Katholieke Universiteit Leuven) (B), Koen van den Broek's decision to paint was an almost logical one. His preference for the work of Matisse, as well as his art-education at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts (Antwerp) (B) and Sint-Joost in Breda (NL) root him deeply in the European painting-tradition. He has however, always put this in a perspective by a strong preoccupation with American conceptual and abstract art. Not only in theory but also by means of road trips made almost annually through the United States, which provide him with the necessary source material.
