Jean Francois Debongnie

Jean-Francois Debongnie, born 1968, a native of Brussels, has been living between Singapore and Belgium since 1989. A self-taught artist, Jean- Francois favours large canvasses on which he explores the themes that inspire him in series such as “Red flowers”, “Summer”, “Dancing in the wind”, “Landscape – China”.

In these series Debongnie brings to life flowers – both as iconographic floral signatures which capture the essential qualities of a flower rather than strict botanical representations, and as part of a landscape in fields growing wild amidst ripening grain.

Their overall impression is one of movement: wind-blown fields beneath swirling skies of monestial blue. In these series Debongnie favours a palette of late summer hues: ochres and Naples yellow, raw umber and burnt sienna. Debongnie’s work can be seen in the following magazines: Vogue Living, Elle Decor, Home Concept, Cube, Space, Wallpaper, Home Decor and in private collections such as Sotherby’s Institute of Art, Singapore Airlines, Architect Vista, Changi Airport Singapore, Katten Muchin Rosenman UK LLP, Capital Land, E&O Properties and Raffles Hotel.
