Clara-Lane Lens

Clara-Lane Lens is a Belgian painter, so far particularly known for focussing on portraits of androgynous[1] personas.[2] At the age of 17, she had a first solo exhibition in Brussels (BE).[3] Genderless,[4] the theme of that expo stays the inspiration for most of her works upon today.[5]

Astrid Verreycken[6] in 254Forest:[7] "Clara-Lane Lens paints using a classic imagery. Her works veers between the directness of a quick snapshot and an extensive study of the human body. All figures share something similar, beautiful but introvert. They are inward-looking, lost in thought. But there is also a kind of physical absence. She deliberately omits the characteristics that could reveal a character's gender. Spectators are regularly misled, yet precisely that's the attraction in her work. As you are left with the sense that something has eluded you."

Clara-Lane Lens currently lives and works at her atelier in Berlin (DE).[8]
