Artist Statement:
Remaut was born in Oostende in
1942. After studying art at
Academie Oostende his first
major exhibition was in 1982
with his brother Pierre.
Selections in international
competitions followed with
shows in Belgium, the
Netherlands, France,
Luxembourg and the United
Kingdom. In a career spanning
twenty years Remaut has
achieved huge success with
works hanging in many public
and private collections
including those of the Belgian
national and local governments
and Ostend’s Museum of Fine
Art. Most recently his work
was selected for exhibitions
in England.
Remaut invented himself as an
artist by abandoning the
constraints of traditional
teaching and evolving his own
distinct style of informal
art. Carrying the whole
culture of modern art in his
head, he doesn’t paint to
please the art audience,
finding it conservative,
critical, lacking
understanding and a sense of
fun. He is the audience,
relishing in his performance.
His paintings depict emotions,
moods and feelings. He is a
recording instrument, painting
reflections of his own
surroundings. Ideas come from
everywhere including nature,
television and books.
Sometimes the starting point
is a sketch made from
something seen in the street.
He may see an interesting wall
which is impractical to take
home ...
