Lode Laperre
°1966 Kortrijk, Belgium.
Lode Laperre’s first trip to South-East Asia in December 1998 piqued his interest in other civilizations and cultures. Inspired by this and many return visits, his visual arts mission notably shifted towards the creation and exploration of a remarkable and very personally-charged pictorial language, a fusion of Orient and Occident. More exhibitions followed, this time in China, Taiwan and Thailand.
Thus influenced by oriental art, Lode Laperre started experimenting with expressing his artistic vision using new media, e.g. creating ink drawings on paper and sculptures. His series of “Coprolites”, which he refers to as the “fossil excrements” of his work, are residues of painting sessions reincarnated as sculptures.
