WAREGEM, BELGIUM – For over ten years, Denis de Gloire, wandering about in his atelier in Waregem, Belgium, has been working on a impressive homage to Jackson Pollock who was born on the 28 th of January 1912 in Cody (Wyoming) and who passed away in New York 1956. After such a long period and passion for his subject, it seems as De Gloire has become the incarnation of Pollock, holding and moving his paint pallet, sharing and feeling the same shades of colour the man he most inspires did before him. Pollock’s spirit but also Franz Kline, Yves Klein, Engelbert van Anderlecht, Robert Motherwell, Louis Morris and Robert Indiana roam his chambers of creativity, in the form of canvases, merging as a crowd, referring to those outbursts that marked many in the past. Remarkable for his most fascinating demarche, is his statement: “I am not an artist. I make paintings.”
