The Story
Christian Develter, born 1968 in Blankenberge, Belgium is one of Belgium’s emerging stars 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 incomposition, 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.
Each canvas emanates layers of turbulence in impeccable style and sensuality, the approach is highly emotional resulting in a visual feast. Seeing Christian’s 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.
What is admirable beyond the choice of Christian’s subjects, is precisely the at stubbornness, which characterizes him, to be adamant in that hyper-finished, almost exaggerated style, specific to the make-up of dramatic stage and, of cinema as we know it between the nineteen thirties and the Nouvelle Vague. The recurrent light-hearted feeling, the absence of anguish, which can, arguably, reduce Develter to a "pop" or "glamorous", which others may refer to as a "fashion" painter. Yet beyond the choice of his subjects, is his calculated, almost mathematical use of colour, which brings an intense vibration and sensuality to his work which is at once festive.
Christians’ artistic development is definitely one to keep an eye on.
