Christophe Demaitre
Christophe Demaître is born in 1968 in Coutrai in Belgium. He studied plastic
art first in Courtrai, then in Gent. In the early 90’s, his work is oriented
through photography research, and it is a time when he used to
travel a lot
through Europe and Asia. In 1997, he settled in Italy during six years, when he
will come back to paintings, working on several academic technicals. Then, he
starts to be reknown and he exhibits in prestigious institutions. He will also
stay few time in Spain, in Barcelona, where he will get a lot of inspiration
from the movement « Arte Povera ». All his travels inspired him to come back to
experiment photography again
in 2003, he settled in Brussels
where he continued the work he left years before.
In 2006, C.
Demaitre is invited by Island 6 Arts Center in Shanghai, a contemporary art
center, where he developped his work using multimedia technologies. Fascinated
by this super-dynamic city continuously expanding, not only demographic way but
also in an artisic way, the artist decides to settle a second studio in
Shanghai, and to live there some time during the year. Nowadays his work is
reknown and it belongs to public and private collections.
