1881年7月28日Léon Spilliaert 在比利時西北方,比利時王室很喜愛的濱臨北海的度假城市Ostend 出生,父親經營成功的香水生意,18歲時他進入位在布魯日(Bruges)的美術學院就讀,數月後因健康欠佳休學,即未再接受正式的藝術教育。
1916年12月Léon Spilliaert與Rachel Vergison 結婚,次年3月德國佔領Ostend,兩人原本計劃逃往瑞士日內瓦,因盤纏不足加上妻子大腹便便,決定落腳在布魯塞爾,他們唯一的女兒Madeleine於1917年11月出生,之後經常在布魯塞爾與故鄉Ostend往返。

Léon Spilliaert年輕時患有慢性胃病並經常失眠,為紓解無法入睡的痛苦,他經常深夜時在Ostend 無人的街道上及海邊散步,捕捉海灘與城鎮月夜裡的寂寥與空虛,以及平日罕見的光影與景色。
他同時捕捉Ostend 等待漁夫平安返家的婦人期盼身影,海灘上勁風吹襲衣服翻揚的女孩;空盪的個人臥室也反應Léon Spilliaert當時的孤獨心境。

與畢卡索同一年出生,Léon Spilliaert年輕時渴望成名引發焦慮,展場中有多張自畫像,畫中孤獨的身影,部份略顯誇張的驚恐表情,被藝評家與挪威的孟克(Edvard Munch)及芬蘭的Helene Schjerfbeck 相提並論,他們的自畫像也有豐富的視覺效果,令人過目難忘。
這些在1907和1908年創作的自畫像,是Léon Spilliaert最廣為人知及最受肯定的作品,這段時間他正值26歲左右年齡,仍與父母同住,失眠的他經常在玻璃屋頂的工作室半夜作畫,裡面放有許多鏡子和盆栽,這裡不僅是他身心靈安歇之處,也是創意可以自由奔放揮灑的地方。

1910年Léon Spilliaert 受科學家與發明家Robert Goldschmidt 委託,為他贊助的飛艇Belgique II 作畫,也許受到照片的影響,Léon Spilliaert 以非傳統的角度描繪,在畫中可以感受到它龐大的體積。
這項特展原訂一直進行到2020年9月20日。
