Jean-Francois Debongnie's First Solo Show at ArtBlue Studio Sat 10 Feb 5pm to 8pm

Published - 07 February 2018, Wednesday

Jean-Francois Debongnie, born 1968, a native of Brussels, has been living between Singapore and Belgium since 1989.

A self-taught artist, Jean-Francois favours large canvasses on which he explores the themes that inspire him in series such as "Red flowers", "Summer", "Dancing in the wind", "Landscape - China".

In these series Debongnie brings to life flowers - both as iconographic floral signatures which capture the essential qualities of a flower rather than strict botanical representations, and as part of a landscape in fields growing wild amidst ripening grain.

Their overall impression is one of movement: wind-blown fields beneath swirling skies of monestial blue.

In these series Debongnie favours a palette of late summer hues: ochres and Naples yellow, raw umber and burnt sienna.

Debongnie's work can be seen in the following magazines: Vogue Living, Elle Decor, Home Concept, Cube, Space, Wallpaper, Home Decor, ...

Private Collections: Sotherby's Institute of Art, Singapore Airlines, Architect Vista, Changi Airport Singapore, Katten Muchin Rosenman UK LLP, Capital Land, E&O Properties, Raffles Hotel, ...

Very nice work. Lovely textural qualities are more visible in person than in the photos.
