Biography
Pol Ledent is a Belgian painter born in 1952 in Houyet, Belgium. A self-taught artist, he began painting in 1989, initially exploring watercolor before turning to oil painting, which he considers better suited to his expressive approach. Although he took a few drawing classes at the Dinant Academy, he primarily developed autonomously, creating a unique style that he applies in his representations of landscapes, still lifes, nude portraits, and more recently, abstraction.
Pol Ledent's works stand out for their use of vibrant colors and fluid gestures, characterized by broad and dynamic brushstrokes. Yellow, blue, and other vibrant hues often dominate his canvases, creating striking contrasts and a vibrant atmosphere. His contemporary landscapes, inspired by Belgian nature, are particularly noteworthy, as are his nude portraits, which reflect a great sensuality and a certain visual poetry.
The artist has exhibited his works in numerous countries around the world, including Belgium, France, Russia, the United States, China, Australia, Portugal, Scotland, and Switzerland. His paintings are part of many private collections, and he is also a permanent artist at the Voshan Gallery in California. Pol Ledent is recognized for his ability to merge abstraction and figuration, creating a unique visual universe that appeals to a broad audience of contemporary art lovers.
