Description
This signed oil on canvas by the late Belgian artist Raymond Callebaut presents a quietly powerful depiction of everyday life, showing a man and woman standing side by side in a moment of calm exchange. Executed in 1980, the composition reflects Callebaut’s long engagement with Caribbean subjects and his sensitivity to human presence, gesture, and color. The figures are rendered with restrained realism and softened edges, allowing posture and expression to convey narrative rather than overt action. The man holds a small bouquet of flowers, while the woman carries a shallow basket filled with produce, suggesting themes of labor, exchange, and quiet companionship. Callebaut’s palette—cool greens, soft blues, warm pinks, and muted earth tones—creates a harmonious balance that draws the viewer into the scene without distraction. Painted in oil on canvas, the work demonstrates Callebaut’s confident handling of paint and his ability to merge European modernist training with Caribbean daily life. The surface shows natural texture consistent with the medium and period, contributing to the work’s authenticity and visual depth. The painting is signed and dated “Callebaut 80” in the lower right corner and is in good condition. It is a strong example of Callebaut’s figurative work from his mature period, appealing to collectors interested in Caribbean-influenced modern painting and socially grounded figurative art. Upon purchase, a Certificate of Authenticity will be issued by Myriam Nader Haitian Art Gallery.
À propos de cet artiste
À propos de cet artiste
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.
