Life

Claerbout is a trained painter who expands his work to include photographic and cinematic techniques. He studied at the Nationaal Hoger Instituut voor Schone Kunsten in Antwerp from 1992 to 1995, where he attended the painting class.

Time increasingly became his artistic theme. A theme that has been taken up repeatedly is waiting . He finds inspiration in the reflections of Henri Bergson and in the two books on cinema by Gilles Deleuze .

Claerbout is represented by the galleries Micheline Szwajcer, Antwerp, Galerie Yvon Lambert , Paris, Hauser & Wirth London and Zurich, the Galerie Johnen in Berlin and the Galerie Rüdiger Schöttle in Munich. He lives in Antwerp and Berlin.
