Roger Raveel

Roger, Knight Raveel (born Machelen-aan-de-Leie, 15 july 1921) is a contemporary Belgian painter, who was trained in the academies of Ghent and Deinze. His painting is often associated with pop art because of the use of trivial everyday objects. After 1952 he begins to use large white spaces. A central theme in his work is the opposition of fiction and reality. In 1976 he created a large wall painting in the Brussels metro station Mérode.
