For more than 15 years Fonteyne was active as a fashion photographer, breaking boundaries by introducing his narrative approach as a contemporary artist in the traditional fashion world.

Über die Autorinnen und Autoren

The Belgian photographer Karel Fonteyne (°1950) is a prominent photographer in Belgium’s history of photography. Due to the significant age gap with his brother and sister, he was often alone in childhood and spent a lot of time in nature. He deepened his great innate sensitivity for the world that surrounded him, with its specific vibrations and its immaterial, intangible dimensions. Today, he is fascinated by everything that is inexplicable, mysterious and elusive. That characteristic of his personality is the basic theme of his entire oeuvre. After his artistic studies, Karel Fonteyne started a career as an art photographer. Exhibitions in the Museum of Fine Arts in Brussels and in the Royal Palace on the Meir in Antwerp gave him immediate recognition. In 1980 he moved to Italy where he was immediately launched into a career as a fashion photographer that would last 17 years and took him all over the world. Particularly in Vogue, he took fashion out of its conformist context to place it in a new universe, using both the most imaginative imagination and the most dramatically realistic rhetoric, always with a touch of humor. He also worked with Martin Margiela, Dirk Bikkembergs, Walter Van Beirendonck, Marina Yee and Dirk Van Saene. Karel Fonteyne starts from an intuitive feeling that he allows to mature and evolve. His work is difficult to place in traditional categories. Each image is actually a stage, a story. Karel Fonteyne uses photography like a writer uses his words to create a unique world every time. That world confuses us, because it is situated between the impossible and reality.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Karel Fonteyne heeft een uitgebreid œuvre opgebouwd tijdens een carrière van meer dan 50 jaar in de kunst- en modefotografie. Eind jaren 1960, 1970 was hij een pionier in de wereld van de kunstfotografie. Gedurende meer dan 15 jaar was Fonteyne internationaal actief binnen de modescène zowel in Antwerpen met vroege samenwerkingen met Margiela, Dries Van Noten, Walter Van Beirendonck en Dirk Bikkembergs, als internationaal, met opdrachten voor prestigieuze magazines als Vogue, Interview, Bazaar, Marie-Claire of Brutus Magazine in Japan. In 1996 beslist hij om te stoppen met modefotografie en zich uitsluitend te richten op zijn werk als hedendaags kunstenaar. Voor de groepsexpo in de Handelsbeurs is een selectie gemaakt van enkele van zijn iconische modereeksen voor Vogue France en één beeld gerealiseerd voor Giorgio Armani.
De verhalende beelden van Karel Fonteyne overstijgen de klassieke fotografie waarbij de kunstenaar een tijdloze, soms bevreemdende en esoterische atmosfeer creëert. Zijn werk roept paradoxale gevoelens op en confronteert ons met kosmische en mystieke elementen, onze interne leefwereld gekoppeld aan vormen van eenzaamheid of isolatie, veelal gecompenseerd door een parfum van humor of surrealisme.
“I usually don’t photograph what I see but how my mind reflects it”.
