Cette œuvre audacieuse présente deux figures anthropomorphes aux traits exagérés, baignées dans des couleurs vives et contrastées. Le personnage de gauche, dominé par un bleu électrique, arbore des yeux expressifs entourés de motifs géométriques. Son corps asymétrique est souligné par une palette de jaunes et de roses, conférant dynamisme et profondeur. À droite, la figure est une explosion de rouges et de violets, intégrant formes et lignes complexes qui captivent le regard. Des motifs abstraits entrelacent les deux personnages, créant une interaction visuelle intrigante. L'artiste utilise un mélange de techniques picturales, juxtaposant des éléments figuratifs et abstraits, évoquant à la fois chaos et harmonie. L'œuvre invite à explorer les émotions humaines et l'identité à travers une approche visuelle poétique et contemporaine.

Christian Dugardeyn, Don't be afraid
Belgium  • 1963

Presentation

I was born in Brussels in 1963. As a child, I was drawn to pictorial art. Relentlessly I drew and painted, using whatever medium I could find.

At the end of high school, I hesitate between medicine and the fine arts. I get the prize in chemistry, physics and biology from several schools in Brussels, and encouraged by my teachers, I started to study medicine at the University. My medical degree in hand, I enrolled in the Academy of Fine Arts while specializing in medical imaging.

I am an artist of "emotional" and free expression. However, I followed an academic training (Academy of Fine Arts, Brussels), which served as a basis ...

I give free rein to my emotions through different techniques, drawing, painting and sculpture remaining my favorite mediums. My expression is spontaneous, energetic, vital.

Recently, I am mixing elements of medical imagery with my artistic work. Primitive Arts, African art, oceanic art, brut art, children's art strongly influenced me. I find my roots there.

Among contemporary artists, Basquiat, Combas and the free figuration movement, Alechinsky, Appel and the Cobra group, Picasso, Schiele and expressionism, Dubuffet and Art Brut, Street Art, etc. have permeated my work.
