Penelope Deltour Belgian, b. 1988

Overview

“When I am surrounded by nature I experience an in-between, a state in which time becomes a relative concept. My practice allows me to immerse myself in that in between, and also to take the spectator along.”

Since childhood, Penelope has spent a lot of time at the seaside. This environment settled in her memory early on as a safe space. Time after time the artist is overcome with amazement when she sees the endless distances and panoramic dune views. Views which apparently do not allow themselves to be dictated by humanity and always tells a new (his)story. She is fascinated by this horizon, which offers her a literal and symbolic perspective; a context that slows down time and space in our turbulent world.

Biography
Penelope Deltour is a Belgian artist living and working in Ghent. She has a diverse educational background in illustration, graphic design, and printmaking. She earned a Master’s degree in Illustration from LUCA School of Arts in Ghent (2006–2011) and later expanded her expertise with studies in graphic design at Syntra MVL in Sint-Niklaas (2013–2014). She further honed her skills in printmaking at DKO in Kortrijk (2015–2016) and deepened her knowledge of letterpress through a masterclass at Letterpress Amsterdam in 2018.
 

Penelope's  motivation for making work always starts from an urge of escapism, with the primal force of nature as a facilitator and backdrop to reincarnate this feeling, translating visually into mental reconstructions of this state of mind.

In her diptychs and triptychs she tries to fragment reality even more: the hard cuts formed between the individual panels break the image and create peace.

The works are made restlessly, with a lot of expression, in which the artist likes to let coincidence play a role. The result brings peace of mind to both her and the spectator.
