PHILIPPE DUPIEREUX (Belgium, 1944)."Composition", 1992.Oil on canvas.Signed and dated on the back.
"Composition", 1992.
Oil on canvas.
Signed and dated on the back.
Size: 140 x 110 cm.
He was born in 1944 in Hastière, a small town in the Meuse valley, Belgium, and it is, approximately, from 1960 onwards that he produced his first works with a palette knife. In 1962 he finished his studies of Fine Arts in Namur.
In 1966-67 he followed courses at the Famous Artist's School in Amsterdam. In 1970 he settled in Spain, where he still lives today, devoting himself exclusively to painting. Until 1978 he paints, always with a palette knife, landscapes, villages and their people which fascinate him so much.
In 1971 he visited the region of Almeria for the first time; its landscapes and light were a revelation which he captured in many of his paintings.
In 1978 he exchanged his palette knife for brushes and worked on small wooden boards on themes with a surrealist tendency. His work became "cleaner", without brushstrokes and with softer colours. After a year he left the wood to return to canvas, but this time a canvas he had specially prepared himself in order to achieve a smooth, larger canvas. During these years he travelled in search of new themes: North Africa, the USA and Nordic countries.
Between 1984 and 1987 he devoted himself almost exclusively to watercolour, which he worked on and perfected during his travels and in his studio. In 1986, a trip to India proved to be a very enriching experience for his work, especially in terms of colouring.
On a trip to China in 1987, his attraction to non-figurative painting began, influenced by the ideograms of Chinese writing, among other reasons. He made his last sketches and watercolours and, in 1998, he turned definitively to abstraction; his mixed techniques on paper or canvas appear, mixing collages and graphics.
His work is a mixture of collages and painted materials enhanced by graphics.
