Lukas Roels (°1957, Ghent, Belgium) studied photography at the Academy of Arts in Ghent, Belgium. After a brief career as a press photographer he started working as a professor. He teaches at several schools and leads workshops for children, youngsters and adults. He only takes on projects very rarely, and he almost exclusively works as an artist. His trademark is the specific use of available (day)light. He evaluates the light and then uses it to his purpose with masterful skill. Lukas has had exhibitions all over the world, even as far as Melbourne. The artist makes nude photographs of children of different ages. 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.
