Pierre Houcmant (1953-2019)
We recently learned of the death of the Liège photographer Pierre Houcmant. He was one of Hubert Grooteclaes' first students at the St-Luc Institute of Fine Arts in the early 1970's.

As a souvenir, these few views from a series of photographs taken during an outing with these students:





Inauguration of the Spray Can Arts mural painting in honour of Hubert Grooteclaes
The composition presented is the work of artists Michaël Nicolaï and Soke, from the non-profit organisation Spray Can Arts,
and is defined as both a synthesis and an interpretation of the photographisms that Hubert Grooteclaes has carried out since the 1960s.
In the coat of Brother Alfred, a popular and folk character from Liège, you can recognize the faces of artists Léo Ferré, Miles Davis and Nicolas Donato.
This mural painting is located in Liège, at the corner of rue de la Loi and boulevard de la Constitution, at a stone's throw from the École supérieure des Arts Saint-Luc.
This intervention is the 73rd proposal of the Paliss'art operation which, through street art, introduce since 2002 new colours in the public space of Liège.

Soirée hommage à Léo Ferré, décédé il y a 25 ans et en qui la jeunesse de mai 68, dont on fête cette année les 50 ans, va trouver dans ses mots un écho visionnaire à ses aspirations politiques et sociétales.
