Let op: je kladblok opslaan gaat met de knop 'publiceren'. De pagina wordt daarmee nog niet in de openbare encyclopedie geplaatst en blijft een kladpagina. De kladblokpagina is wel zichtbaar (voor iedereen die wat meer van Wikipedia) en mag dus geen onoorbare dingen te bevatten.

Nele Boudry (born 1 March 1961, Poperinge) is a Belgian painter and sculptor. She lives and works in Caunes-Minervois in France.

Nele Boudry was born into a family of artists in Belgium, who included her father, Paul Boudry, grandfather and most notably, the celebrated painter, Alois Boudry, her great Uncle. An artist is what she has wanted to be ever since she was a very small girl. She began at school that favoured the arts when she was 6, graduating from Antwerp’s Royal Academy of Art when she was 22. Her studies have been multifarious - from ceramics, bronzes, jewelry to sculpture, glass-making and footwear.

Style and technique

Nele Boudry is known for her reinterpretations of Renaissance portraits. They are in reaction to how contemporary society often seems to see fame and stardom as having more value than the more discrete, warmer values of man. After visiting the Louvre and witnessed a stampede of visitors, smartphones in hand, on their way to take a selfie with the Mona Lisa while completely ignoring the countless other masterpieces in the museum, Nele Boudry was inspired to give these masterpieces a life of their own, not only completely painted in the technique used by the Flemish Painters such as Van Eyck and Rubens, but also in expressing the soul and the sensitivity that makes human beings so strange and utterly individual and which the Flemish masters achieved so memorably. Boudry is a very emotional painter, deeply affected by the extraordinary look and feel of the human body. Her technique involves building a portrait using many transparent layers to capture the light and mood, but also the feelings of those depicted in her portraits. She is looking for life, as it were, at the very nerve ends.

Haar virtuoos schilderen en tekenen valt meteen op en wordt door vaak speelse en spirituele betekenissen ingehaald. De kijker stapt van de ene verbazing en verrukking in de andere en weet bijwijlen niet of het de vervreemding is en de geladen inventiviteit van het etherische verhaal of de puur beeldende schittering van de plots levend geworden wezens die hem gevangen houdt in het unheimliche van een zowel plastische als geestelijke ban.   Hugo Brutin (a.i.c.a.)
