PETER DEPELCHIN. A BELGIAN ARTIST. DRAWING MAKES THE BIGGEST
PART OF HIS ARTISTIC IDENTITY. HE COMBINES ICONOLOGY AND THEMES
USED BY MASTERS FROM THE RENAISSANCE AND THE BAROQUE (DÜHRER,
GRÜNEWALD, BREUGHEL, BOSCH, RUBENS,...) WITH A CONTEMPORARY
VISION ON OUR SOCIAL ENVIRONMENT.
HIS DRAWINGS EXPAND DURING A LARGE PERIOD. ALWAYS STARTING WITH
A STRUCTURAL STUDY (TO AVOID NOT KNOWING WHERE TO END), THE
DRAWINGS GET BIGGER AND BIGGER LIKE LIVING BEINGS.
THE NOMADIC PHILOSOPHY LIES AT THE ORIGIN OF HIS DRAWING PROCES.
WHILE THE CONTENT IS BASED ON A NEWLY CREATED WORLD USING
SYMBOLS, FIGURES, MOVEMENTS AND MEANINGS OF THE PAST.
THE RESULT IS A HIGHLY NARRATIVE STYLE, SOMETIMES REFERRING TO
ENGLISH CARTOONISTS OF THE 19TH CENTURY.
PETER SCULPTS HIS DRAWINGS, CREATES LARGE COLLAGES OR
INSTALLATIONS OF THEM.. AND AT THE END, WHILE MAKING AN
EXHIBITION IT BECOMES A 'GESAMMTKUNSTWERK' OF DRAWINGS,
INSTALLATIONS, SOMETIMES PAINTINGS AND ASSEMBLAGES.
THE GERMAN TERM 'GESAMMTKUNSTWERK' REFERS TO THE OLDER BAROQUE
PLAY FROM CALDÉRON DE LA BARCA; 'EL GRAN TEATRO DEL MUNDO'.
IN THE END, THAT IS THE COVERING TERM.
