Product description
Robert Detheux ( 1935-2010 )
Discover "Parafes", a fascinating work by Belgian artist Robert Detheux measuring 160cm x 120cm. This collage of newspaper on canvas, enriched with paint and ink calligraphy, bears witness to a unique artistic journey. The first two titles of the work have been erased, symbolizing the evolution of Detheux's creative thinking.
Part of the contemporary art movement, this work incorporates influences from neo-expressionism and collage. The use of calligraphy and textual elements also evokes conceptual art. This approach recalls the work of Cy Twombly, known for his works combining writing and painting, or Jean-Michel Basquiat, who often integrated textual elements into his creations.
A profound exploration of identity and self-expression through art.
Provenance
Collection of the artist's family.
Biography
Robert Detheux, born in Brussels in 1932, established himself as a singular figure on the Belgian art scene in the 1950s, notably through his involvement with the Surrealist and Dadaist movements. His works testify to his ability to blend poetry, subversion and plastic invention. From the 1970s onwards, he moved towards lyrical abstraction, while retaining the influence of Surrealism and Dadaism.
