Demeester's painting is initially rough and gloomy, in the sixties more airy and dynamic, and in the seventies peerless. Her work fascinates thanks to distortions of space and precisely executed colour gradations.
Through modesty and underestimation, Demeester remains under the radar for a long time. Until the spirits begin to mature and people realize that she has also effectively and excellently achieved her great goal "creating an autre monde".
Renée Demeester (1927–2022) spent her youth in Congo. At the age of 25, she said goodbye to her colonial life to devote herself to drawing and painting. She met the future sculptor Marcel Arnould (1928–1974), with whom she built a complex but also artistically fruitful relationship. The artistic couple Demeester-Arnould actively participated in the bohemian life in and around Brussels in the 1960s. Their friends were both the surrealists of the time (Marcel Mariën, Marcel Lecomte) and the abstract artists (Victor Servranckx, Felix De Boeck), their second source of inspiration. After Arnould's suicide, Demeester courageously continued her career.
