Pieter Chanterie is a visual artist, born in 1996 in Leuven. He lives and works in Brussels.
His work ranges from miniature paintings on wood to site-specific murals, drawings, books, sculptures and automata.
There’s a large focus on handcrafting the pieces and their materiality, but also on making the 2D or 3D object a window to elsewhere.
He assembles the loaded tradition of painting with diverse present-day contexts and narratives to create an alternate heritage.
This unfolds into a visual language which is a medley of contemporary and historical imagery, paraphrasing pop stars alongside illuminated manuscripts, infographics alongside folklore handicraft and reality TV alongside ancient frescoes.
This sweet ‘n sour cocktail decorates the stage for spiritual, personal and fictional novellas
