Two figures who significantly influenced Bruneau and for whom he had immense admiration were Picasso and Matisse. Two grandmasters from whose work he could draw unabashedly and without restraint. No matter how much he allowed their work to creep in, or how far the game of borrowing went, Bruneau always maintained his own typical handwriting and managed to process their language in a personal way, in which satire, irony, and parody were often present. References to figures such as Rik Wouters, Kirchner, Max Beckmann, and others also appear in his work.
13 businesses located on Wolstraat are presenting a work by visual artist Bruneau in their windows throughout the month of February. Through QR stickers on the windows, you can access 13 short texts, each sketching a fragment of Bruneau's work. Together, they provide a brief insight into his oeuvre.
