Klaas Rommelaere was born in Roeselare, Belgium in 1986. The artist originally graduated from the Royal Academy of Fine Art in Ghent as a fashion student. He then pursed a fashion career with internships at Henrik Vibskov and Raf Simons, where he soon realised he had strong artistic visions that needed to be materialised. Leaving the fashion world behind him, he continued to express himself with familiar materials - needle, thread, wool, and yarn. The artist is renowned for his embroidered tapestries of images inspired by cult classic movies and his personal experiences. Whether it is cross-stitch, crochet, or classic knitting, the artist’s works are firmly rooted in both the everyday and the subculture of urban life. Due to the time consuming nature of his craft, the artist collaborates with a group older ladies expert in hand made textiles, eventually creating communities all around Belgium. Rommelaere’s works are a result of his surroundings - his life, his entertainment, his community. The artist currently lives and works in Antwerp.加载中...
