As Bellos states, “Refusing sentimental claims about art rescuing politics, Houben acts as a mirror rather than a preacher. By his estimation, painting clarifies and reveals; painting does not campaign.”

Critically acclaimed for his innovational perspective on the economy and the structures that have shaped our monetary systems, Houben’s paintings have been described as “a treasury of global symbols, excavating the psychological charge embedded in monetary imagery and exposing it contradictions.”
