​Lukas Roels,​ Works

Lukas Roels (°1957, Ghent, Belgium) studied photography at the Academy of Arts in Ghent, Belgium.

Lukas has had exhibitions all over the world, even as far as Melbourne. To make the ‘Angels of Time‘ series, Lukas Roels made nude photographs of children of different ages. This resulted in beautiful and sober black and white pictures, with topics such as melancholy, candidness, wishes and dreams, time and evanescence. In his remarkable quest for androgyny, he wants to go beyond gender and to picture the universal beauty of a young body. The nudity of children is therefore not sexual, they do not hide anything or provoke. They are just there: self-assured, and sometimes a tad mischievous, but always innocent. They demand to be watched with one and the same look.
