Michel Calembert

Born in 1948, trained as a chartered accountant and initially not part of the art world, I got into watercolor in the early 90s, by the greatest of chance, seduced by the phenomenon of pigment fusion. At the end of 1998, I deepened my experience first with Roland Palmaerts both during course sessions and during outdoor internships.

I also flitted with other renowned watercolor artists in order to take stock of other ways of seeing this wonderful medium.

After having essentially treated landscapes and flowers, I have devoted myself since 2014 to constructed abstraction which combines geometric rigor based on prime numbers while favoring the flexibility of forms and the evanescence of colored gradations.

I wish to show, among other things, that, notwithstanding such a precise and rigorous construction, the global vision entails a difficulty in perceiving the exact reality of things.

Herman Pekel

Εικόνα
Born in Melbourne in 1956 of Dutch parents, Herman was 17 when he held his first solo exhibition in Melbourne: it was a sell-out success. He spent three years studying and painting in Amsterdam and London, where he encountered the works of Constable, Turner and Rembrandt. These impressed him and influenced his own work. On returning to Melbourne in 1982 he began studying for his fine arts degree at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology. Dale Hickey, Jeff Makin and Clifton Pugh are just a few of the contemporary artists under whom Herman studied and who were instrumental in cultivating his appreciation of contemporary art, as well as experimentation with abstract impressionism. His tonal works, in oil and watercolour, range from city and landscapes to café and bar interiors to dynamic industrial scenery. They all demonstrate the very best of contemporary impressionism. Herman is a multi-awarded painter: a three-time winner of the coveted Camberwell Gold Medal Art Prize and a winne...
