The precision of the lines, the spirit of synthesis, the refinement of the line and the imagination confer on the work of De Roeck a character of a surprising modernity. Original posters, press cartoons, sketchbooks, paintings and drawings will allow the public to discover this artist who was also the teacher of Pierre Alechinsky and Jean-Michel Folon at the La Cambre school (ENSAV).’
