About Colin Waeghe
Colin Waeghe (°1980) lives and works in Brussels and Leipzig. He studied at Sint Lucas College in Brussels (experimental studio), at PoPok (stage design) in the Singel in Antwerp and at the HISK in Ghent.
Colin Waeghe's work is a mix of autobiographical elements, excepts from the news and images from popular media. The painter portrays his story through different perspectives on realities that touched him. His works are portals of his experiences without an added manual. The concept in his oeuvre is diverse.
Colin Waeghe often works with a small brush on a large canvas. Here we find his illustrative background. The result is a striking splash or stain effect. This is also how he looks at the world: it is not a stagnant / fixed existence, but an ever-changing matter like vibrating molecules.
