"Through the format of the letter and the correspondence, Delrue
implements his stance with regard to the role of contemporary
drawing as a valid generator of artistic languages and as a humble,
yet effectively poetic alternative to the virtual circulation of
digital images between the communication systems that surround us."
- Ory Dessau, art critic "The unique character and strength of
Ronny Delrue's work are the result of his intense search for the
essence of Being. [...] In a highly meticulous, almost obsessive
way, he explores the sensitive fault line between control and loss
of control. The process, the path, the quest is of fundamental
importance to this exploration. The quest is not idiosyncratic, it
is not inward, it allows room for dialogue with others, like a
mirror image in which the encounter occurs, as in a crossover of
minds." - Carine Fol, artistic director CENTRALE for Contemporary
Art, Brussels "What is more beautiful than the circle left on a
piece of paper by a coffee cup, even if an algorithm can produce a
lifelike imitation? What is even lovelier is the artists' ideas,
the exchange, the noise, the geographical and cultural differences,
the slowness, the simplicity, the banality, the trace, the moment,
the text, the language, the distance, the ideas, the
powerlessness." - Philippe Van Cauteren, artistic director
S.M.A.K., Ghent In recent years, Ronny Delrue (*1957) corresponded
with six artists namely: Martin Assig (Germany), Salam Atta Sabri
(Iraq), Roger Ballen (South Africa), Sanjeev Maharjan (Nepal),
Mithu Sen (India) and Christine Remacle (Belgium). Through
exchanges in the form of drawings, letter fragments and collages,
among other things, this publication not only explores the
encounters between artists with different geographical backgrounds
and cultural attitudes; it also looks at Delrue's own oeuvre from a
new angle. Ronny Delrue is a painter, but first and foremost an
artist for whom drawing is a core activity. For him, drawing is a
way of thinking, a state of being. For this project a conscious
decision was made to send the letters by post, as opposed to the
swift exchange of digitally scanned documents. Correspondances is
an ode to slowness and a tribute to human acts, in which
representation becomes the language of the encounter. Text in
English, French and Dutch.
