Roger Van Belleghem (1922-2002) - Surrealist

Roger Van Belleghem was a Belgian artist, born in Beernem in 1922 and who died in Leuven in 2002. He was both a painter and a sculptor. He received his training at the Academy in Bruges, at Sint-Lucas in Ghent, and at the National Higher Institute in Antwerp. He created portraits and surrealist compositions that reveal a vivid imagination. He frequently contrasted the female nude with the fragmentation, death, and aggression present in society. He employed a highly refined technique. From the press: “His means of expression may vary—canvas, copper, iron—but his inner desires and his passion remain singular: the fear of life’s drama, the enigma of the human mind, and the profound misery stemming from an inability to communicate.
