BIO
Roger Hebbelinck was a Belgian artist who was born in Brussels in 1912 and died there in 1987. He was a painter, etcher, watercolorist and filmmaker.
He etched a large number of picturesque corners of town in historic cities.
Also special are his colour etchings that he made after works by his colleagues V. de Saedeleer and A. Saverys. He signed these with the pseudonym "Belin". In 1932 he started his own studio for graphics and printing etchings. Especially known for his hundreds of colour etchings, mostly village and cityscapes.
He masters his technique in an exemplary manner and thus follows in the tradition of etching practiced by Ensor and De Bruycker .
His painting, however, leans towards post-symbolism, detached from the surrealist imagery. The entire oeuvre of RH shows that he is continually fascinated by human existence in general and the living environment with which the fate of the individual is connected in particular, and that can be both a city (Rome, Bruges) and the countryside or villages in Italy or Spain.
