Description
This expressive colored ink drawing by the late Belgian artist Raymond Callebaut depicts two figures walking side by side, rendered with fluid lines and confident washes of color. Executed in 1978 and signed by the artist, the composition reflects Callebaut’s deep sensitivity to everyday Caribbean life, capturing both movement and quiet introspection through posture and gesture. The figures’ relaxed stride and subtle interaction suggest a moment of shared experience, while Callebaut’s restrained palette of warm reds, blues, and earth tones allows the composition to breathe against a lightly textured background. His economical use of line and color emphasizes form and rhythm rather than detail, giving the work a timeless, human quality. This drawing exemplifies Callebaut’s mature period, when his practice focused on simplicity, observation, and emotional resonance. The work is in good condition, with light, age-appropriate handling consistent with works on paper. It stands as a refined example of Callebaut’s ability to convey narrative and atmosphere through minimal yet expressive means. Upon purchase, a Certificate of Authenticity will be issued by Myriam Nader Haitian Art Gallery.
About this artist
About this artist
Raymond Callebaut was born in 1932 in Antwerp, Belgium. He studied for 7 years at The Royal Academy of Fine Art in Mechelen, Belgium, each year winning 1st prize. The following 5 years he spent at The National Institute of Fine Art in Antwerp under the directorship of the world-renowned painter Baron Isodor Opsomer and Professor Miss Zarina, originally from Riga. The city of Antwerp gave him a grant to further his studies in Italy. After returning home, The Round Table of Belgium supported him for a year, studying various famous art centers throughout France. Since then, Mr. Callebaut has traveled extensively in Europe and North America, painting and exhibiting in Spain, Portugal, Morocco, Haiti, and the USA before finally sitting in Toronto, Canada. Callebaut had a studio in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, in the 1980s. His paintings were sold at Galerie Nader at the time. One can still admire his works there. A few of his artworks have been sold at auctions, and a select few galleries still have a few of his works for sale. He died many years ago, but there is no proven document on the exact date and place of his death.
