Luc Heirbaut was a Belgian artist born in 1919 in Berchem, Antwerp, and died in 2014 in Nieuwkerken-Waas. He was a painter. He trained at the Academy in Sint-Niklaas under the supervision of S. Wijnants, G. Fonteyn, and J. Horenbant. He founded the Vrije Kunstsalon (Free Art Salon) in Nieuwkerken. He painted portraits, landscapes, still lifes, and religious scenes. He evolved from an expressionist to a more surrealist-oriented oeuvre. From the press: "Two periods can be clearly distinguished in his artistic career. The portraits, religious scenes, landscapes, street scenes, flowers, and so on from the early period exhibit a strong expressionist slant, while since the late 1960s he has painted surrealist canvases." Mentioned in BAS I and two centuries of signatures of Belgian artists. (PIRON)
