FLEMISH painter Ilse D’Hollander committed suicide in 1997 at the age of 28 and only a single solo exhibition of her work was held during her lifetime. Yet in her short life she created intelligent, sensual work of rare clarity, beguiling composition and a breath-taking colour palette.

Born in Sint Niklaas, D’Hollander drew upon her experience of the Flemish countryside where she spent her highly productive final years of her life, producing over 500 paintings. A selection is now on show in a free exhibition at London's Victoria Miro Gallery.
