Emerging Artist

Through the use of a multitude of artistic mediums ranging from painting to sculpture, DUGA brings together a particular aesthetic in his works. This Belgian artist finds his roots, his influences, in Primitive Arts, African art, Oceanic art, Native American art, raw art, but also in naive art. Born in 1963 in Brussels, Christian Dugardeyn (alias DUGA) is an artist belonging to the Free Expression movement. After an unavoidable stint at the Fine Arts, he quickly emancipates himself from the artistic techniques taught to focus on his instinctive emotions: detaching from academicism to create his own style. He paints and sculpts viscerally, in a state of regression and on the margins of contemporary artistic currents. The reappropriation of his influences to give form to his emotions. DUGA expresses himself through different techniques: drawing, painting, and sculpture.

Among contemporary artists, Basquiat, Combas and the free figuration movement, Aléchinsky, Appel and the Cobra group, Picasso, Schiele and expressionism, Dubuffet and Art Brut, Street Art, ... have influenced his work.

An artist cannot remain in his corner, isolated. He must open up, rework the influences of the past that speak to him.
