Christophe Malfliet (Belgium '1966) - "On the works of the artist one can say he enjoys: the unrestrained contact with colour, in design, the density of the imagination, the sensation of decorative effects, the indifference to established rules in art, foremost those of the avant-garde, a refreshing lack of systematic, the unconcerned combining of seemingly incompatible stylistic means, which results into the impression of a stylistic potpourri. The unsuspecting multiplication of elements from the 'higher' and 'lower' arts, the demonstrative showing of the artistic ego, sometimes in an excessive, exhibitionist narcissist and elated way, a brilliant eroticism, not tied up to the limitations of conventions either as the aesthetic expressions that are being applied."
