Bio
Ado Hamelryck wert born in 1941 in Halle (Belgium). He lives and works in Genk.
Ado received art training at the Academy of Fine Arts in Brussels as well as at the Higher Institute of Fine Arts in Antwerp. At home in Genk since 1967, where Ado taught for many years, today he is an honorary professor at the LUCA Schools of Arts. Ado Hamelryck was also a member of the Limburg School (1973) and is still active as an artist.
Evolution
Ado Hamelryck's work has undergone a remarkable evolution. After a period of relativising realism and colour, Ado Hamelryck evolves into a contemplative phase that involves a return to the essence of being an artist. Form - excluding black as a colour - and action fuse into a unity in 'black monotony'. The choice to use only the colour black in his works has become essential to his pursuit of pure images and purification.
Many shades of black
The use of 'many shades of black' in his works is often accompanied by that of repetitive, rhythmic, meditative actions. Letters or signs without meaning fill the surface. Through an almost endless series of movements, this creates a pure image; the artwork, and gives meaning to the meaningless. This is the essence of Ado Hamelryck's works, which all but stand for looking at the world through black glasses. More so, Ado rather sees himself as a 'colourist' where black is the strongest colour which he translates into endless facets in captivating works, in many sizes and divergent textures.
In his monograph 'Ado Hamelryck - Not one black, but twenty-seven blacks verzker ik u', author Francis Smaets describes it as follows: "Ado Hamelryck's work emphasises the active process: the solitary, eremitic performance. It is a spiritual exercise, practised in a different way from the ancient philosopher or the Buddhist, namely as a contemporary artist, but as their equal in the search for wisdom."
Art on display
His work is in the possession of, among others, M HKA Antwerp, University of Antwerp, Province of Limburg, Flemish Community, French Community, CIAP Hasselt, National Bank Brussels, Flemish Parliament Brussels, KBC, Muzee Ostend, Atelier340 Brussels and Hasselt Provincial House as well as many a private collector.
