Louise DELANGHE (BE. 1994) is based in Ostend and Brussels, a graduate of KASK, Ghent, who obtained her Master in Fine Arts with a specialization in graphic design, is a distinctive presence in the Belgian contemporary art scene. 

DELANGHE, whose artistic trajectory has been marked by recognition such as the Ronse Drawing Prize in 2019 and solo exhibitions at 10n in Brussels, LLS Paleis and Pizza Gallery in Antwerp, engages in a continual process of self-reinvention, navigating the intricate paths and loopholes of art history. Her artistic practice seamlessly integrates classic oil painting techniques with more contemporary twists, such as the use of household paint in combination with found or used objects in her immediate environment that imply personal stories and encounters. 

Her work is characterized by a crystallized focus on artistic play, allowing her to delve into themes spanning boundless humanism, contemporary pop culture, and the intersection of the bold and the banal. Delanghe’s practice invites a dynamic dialogue between tradition and innovation, creating a space where the echoes of art history converge with the pulsating rhythms of the present. Her every gesture and moment of decision is so perceptible in her paintings; you feel the elbow sway, the brush pull. The painter balances a visual limbo using layers and recomposed figures that seem to abstract their own stories.
