Louise Delanghe
Belgium, b. 1994
Louise Delanghe (b. 1994), a graduate of KASK, Ghent, where she earned her Master in Fine Arts with a focus on graphic design, stands as a distinctive and compelling figure within the contemporary art world.
Her artistic journey, distinguished by accolades such as the Ronse Drawing Prize in 2019, as well as solo exhibitions at notable spaces like 10n in Brussels, LLS Paleis, and Pizza Gallery in Antwerp, reveals a relentless pursuit of self-reinvention. Delanghe navigates the labyrinthine complexities of art history, weaving through its hidden passages and obscure corners with a keen sense of discovery. Her work deftly blends the timeless techniques of classical oil painting with the more progressive gestures of contemporary mediums, including the unconventional use of household paint.
At the core of Delanghe's practice lies an unwavering commitment to the playful and exploratory nature of art. Her canvases traverse a vast expanse of themes, from the infinite realms of humanism to the vivid landscapes of contemporary pop culture, seamlessly intertwining the sublime with the banal. In her work, tradition and innovation engage in a constant dialogue, creating a dynamic space where the echoes of the past resonate alongside the vibrant pulse of the present. Each stroke and decision is palpable in her paintings—the sway of the elbow, the pull of the brush—inviting the viewer to witness the artist’s hand at work. Delanghe's compositions are in constant flux, hovering in a visual limbo where fragmented figures and layers of paint come together to form an enigmatic narrative that seems to abstract its own story.
