Liliane Vertessen was born in Leopoldsburg, the same small town where Pukkelpop saw the light of day. She’s an opinionated artist who creates subtly provocative works of art. Since 1975 she has had numerous exhibitions and won several prizes. Usually, her starting point is a self-portrait as a call girl, queen or seductress. Next the photos are coloured, wrapped in foil, provided with neon captions and then covered in sequins, feathers and small bits of fur. Someone once worded it like this: “This is hard-rock art approached from a photographic angle, art misted in the poetry of Marquis de Sade. Her pervertedly decorated, poetically addictive work, prepares art lovers for a mental orgasm.” Her work has been exhibited in important galleries and museums all over Europe: from Paris to Lisbon, from Rotterdam to Munich. The Hasselt Provincial Museum and Muhka in Gent have also put her work in the spotlight.

At Pukkelpop’s anniversary edition Liliane Vertessen will exhibit some of her most intoxicating works in the VIP and artist village. Pukkelpop art, if you like.
