Color pencil, graphite pencil, pen and Chinese ink on Canson paper. 11 7/10 × 15 9/10 in | 29.7 × 40.5 cm. Frame included
Primordial to Peter Depelchin's artistic universe is the interpretation of art-historical and literary observations. Avoiding cultural appropriation he tends to create a new intercultural imagery containing a symbiosis of art history and topicality. To this end the Belgian artist decontextualizes and neo-contextualizes art-historical characteristics of aesthetics such as allegory, iconography, the use of patterns and approaches to the depiction of space. As a result, these sampled images touch our cross-cultural imagery and exercise a strong visual effect on the spectator. By recomposing collective imagery he tries to accomplish a new universal artistic language appropriate to the contemporary world.
