Vincent de Jaegher - painter
Vincent de Jaegher was introduced to painting at the age of 12 by his artist aunt.
A keen traveller, he travelled the world and spent several years in Japan, where he immersed himself in the culture. You can see this in his paintings, which have a touch of Zen calligraphy.
Curves, counter-curves, notes of colour, yes notes, that's the word, because Vincent's works are as much to be listened to as they are to be contemplated. There's a vibrancy to his compositions, which are veritable symphonies, often peaceful and joyful, reflecting the artist's playful character, but sometimes darker, because no one is immune to the tumult of the world. Vincent sails from Vivaldi to Prokofiev.
Influenced by Turner and the master Zao Wou-Ki, whom he met in his Paris studio, Vincent nevertheless had his own personality. Once you've seen one of his works, it's easy to identify the others as his own. This characteristic is the prerogative of true artists whose independence defies convention.
Vincent was a hard worker who painted discreetly throughout his life, his approach being an inner quest. Seeking neither fame nor glory, he has rarely exhibited, but always with success. In 2017, he was invited to present his work at the Japanese Embassy in Brussels.
Galerie HVL is proud to present the masterful bursts of colour by artist Vincent de Jaegher. A work that leaves no one indifferent, and above all that does the soul good.
