ARTIST STATEMENT
The artistic practice of Belgian artist Hadrien Loumaye is essentially focused on the relationship between gesture and color. The movement is the direct witness of a certain physical energy breathed into each creative act. The various color arrangementys present in the paintings are arranged in such a way as to produce an emotive effect on the viewer. There is an apparent contradiction between the tenderness of certain colors and the sometimes primitive gestures of certain works. The affective dimension of the different paintings is one of the guiding threads of the work with the development of sensitivity being one of the main objectives. There is a desire to get closer to the freest expression of a psychology, to give shape to a transparent state. The painting experimentation takes different forms ranging from paintings to murals. This allows to play with different scales and supports with their own singularities. Certain pictorial gestures are reused in other mediums such as drawing in an attempt to approach these artistic disciplines differently.
