These drawings depict intimate narratives with frames carefully crafted by the artist himself, like a puzzle to be assembled. He constantly plays with the contrast between background and form, transforming anecdotes while exploring a multitude of small stories. The reoccurring animal motifs, such as bats, carp, or whales, in this way contribute to his leading narratives. Enduring power dynamics and numerous expectations that humans place on animals find ideal allegorical representation in Bosmans’s works.
