matsuge mukeai, oyako nemuru... (2015) Painting by Daniel Moline

Daniel Moline is a contemporary Belgian painter. Moline is a painter of large compositions, with imposing figures in a strongly graphic style, from which energy, vitality and a certain violence emerge. Expressing both tenderness and cruelty, their violence is always accompanied by a discrete tenderness and benevolence as restraint towards life. There are common features with the calligraphy of Zen monks and the work of the Japanese painter Shôhaku.

Since 1990, he’s been working on large abstract compositions in black ink on white backgrounds, "Gutta", sets of stains and various traces from which the observer will construct the meaning that suits him or that pleases him. He is currently working (since 2010) on large portraits in amber on black backgrounds, distressed memories of Japan or dark creatures encountered after his return to Belgium.

Daniel Moline was born in 1948, in Belgium. He participated in various exhibitions nationally and in Japan, where he spent sixteen years.
