About the work

A cropped female torso rendered in deep purple dominates the composition, overlaid with a stark black square bearing a white flower at its centre, flanked by blossoming branches. Below, loose ink marks and hand-like forms contrast with the graphic precision above, creating a layered tension between the figurative and the abstract.

Henri-Guy Dacos (Belgium, 1940–2012).

About the artist

Henri-Guy Dacos — Silkscreen On Paper, 50 × 72 cm (representative image)
Henri-Guy Dacos

Belgium, b. 1940–2012

Henri-Guy Dacos (1940–2012) was a Belgian artist recognized for his contributions to modern and contemporary art, particularly in painting and printmaking. Born in Belgium, Dacos developed a distinctive style characterized by abstract compositions and a nuanced use of color and form. His works often explore the interplay between geometric structure and expressive gesture, reflecting broader trends in post-war European abstraction.

Dacos exhibited his work in several notable institutions throughout his career, including prominent Belgian museums and galleries. His art has been featured in both solo and group exhibitions, highlighting his role within the Belgian and broader European art scenes. In addition to institutional recognition, Dacos’s works have appeared at major auction houses such as Sotheby’s and Christie’s, where his paintings and prints have attracted the attention of collectors and connoisseurs, affirming his standing in the secondary market.

Throughout his life, Henri-Guy Dacos remained committed to exploring new artistic techniques and expanding the boundaries of his chosen mediums. His legacy endures through his innovative approach and the continued presence of his works in public and private collections. Dacos’s artistic journey reflects the dynamic evolution of Belgian art in the latter half of the twentieth century.
