Develter Biography
Christian Develter, born 1968 in Blankenberge, Belgium is one of Belgium’s emerging stars already fast-gaining a reputation within the international art scene.
He initially studied art school at Ghent and was trained at the famous Antwerp Fashion Academy, soon to realize his passion for painting exceeded his love for designing clothes. Always joyful in composition, he presents a radiant kaleidoscope of shapes and forms. His choice to combine a rough passion with playful humour and bright colours recalls the artist’s view of popular fashions and trends.
Uniqueness lies in his radical choice for strong colours and mixture of oils and acrylics usually preferring to combine them with bold shapes. His works are deeply powerful and compelling in the way they capture light and space in translating the painter’s desire to create large paintings.
While in his early work the subject matters are more arbitrary, his more recent work is truly based on impressions experienced since his migration to Asia.
Each canvas emanates layers of turbulence in impeccable style and sensuality, the approach is highly emotional resulting in a visual feast. Seeing Chris’ work offers a clearer insight into his working process for under the modish contemporary façade, lies a classical working approach re-utilizing traditional painting techniques fashioned by the old Flemish Masters, thereby continuing an ancient tradition by daring repetition and innovation.
His radical choice for Asian themes places him under public scrutiny and critique from a new audience far away from his birthplace. By using highly unusual color combinations, but at the same time respecting Asian sensibilities, he truly proves himself of growing maturity while conveying deeper emotional resonance supporting his claim for a place in the Asian art scene. His enormous personal energy and optimism have endeared him to collectors worldwide.
Christians’ artistic development is definitely one to keep an eye on.
