Jean - Pierre Deloore

1947 Kortrijk (Belgium). Initially I painted landscapes of my region (Flanders) and held a first exhibition in Malpertuis gallery in Kwaremont in 1978. Following this, many exhibitions were held in Belgian towns such as Bruges, Ghent and Roulers.In 1981 I built a new studio in my garden and started a fulltime career as a painter.Since then my subjects changed to landscapes and picturesque corners of the more sunny southern European countries and regions such as the Provence, Tuscany, Spanish and Greek isles, etc..Sometimes these works were close to reality, whilst at other times they were fantasized. In 2002 I switched to a totally new way of painting. After a long survey through the world of modern art in musea and galleries I got interested in aspects of painting I hardly explored until then, as surface division, structure and color harmonies. I put the emphasis on the directly communicating power of matter and color. In 2005 the imagination is back and I now try to put a content in my new paintings. These works seem to communicate, by means of the sound of birds or the silence of the white canvasses.

Fully self-taught
