BEAUTY: Watercolor--Hans Op de Beeck

Artist Hans Op de Beeck (previously here with his Staging Silence film series) paints figures at night against a fantastical, glowing sky. These works are all the more intriguing since they are executed solely in watercolor. His site explains:

As the title suggests, "The Night Walkers" is a series of black and white watercolours in which characters walk at night. We see the fictional figures in silhouette, en route under the starry sky to an unknown destination. Their attributes and their specific attire or special hairstyle refer to the carnival, the circus, the subcultural or the playing of music in the open air. The presence of animals in a number of works reinforces the fairy-tale character.
