Ostend In the Brugstraat in Stene tail since Thursday, a remarkable face at a front door, the passers-by. Many a neighbor wondering what it means. We went to the just ask and express on the equally striking doorbell. Chris Lowyck (62), an artist, opened the door, and immediately starts to tell.
“Some people think that this is the head of prime minister Michel is, that us spies. It would be a nice approach, but such a merchant of doom-I’m not,” laughs Chris. Others suspect that it is a kind of playful ‘inbrekerverschrikker’. “Also that it is not. My three dogs will the burglars away, keep. No, this is actually just a self-portrait. I want the passers-by greet and a smile on their face. The reactions to hear, that is already been successful,” testified the man.
“The work is, however, still not ready. I am a second hand on the sculpture. That will be a business card with my data stick. The other hand holds all the doorbell fixed”, Chris continues. He lives in the house with his son Ramses (27), who is also an artist. Both father and son seem very skilled in their profession, both in painting as sculpture. In the house hanging around selfmanufactured works of art, both abstract paintings by his son Ramesses as realistic portraits and images by Chris.
