Artist Biography
Belgian photographer Wouter Deruytter is well-known for his images of people in the masks and costumes of their identity.
His desire to travel and discover both vanishing and fading subjects has taken him on his course from the local circuses of Egypt to the mysterious cultures and time warp of the Middle Eastern Royal families and their horses. Following these photographic journeys, he returned to the new world to pursue new experiences. In 1997, he turned his attention to the American West, producing images of the archetypal western frontier and the Cowboy Knights who inhabit it. The result was published in the book “Cowboy Code”. More recently he debuted his series “Billboards, New York”, a wry conceptual re-presentation of advertising imagery and its ubiquitous presence in our everyday lives.
Deruytter has exhibited extensively throughout Europe, Mexico, and the United States in such prestigious venues as The United Nations (New York), Chelsea Art Museum (New York), the Foundation Cartier (Paris), Museum of Modern Art PMMK (Belgium), etc
His publications include Brussel (1990), McDermott & McGough: Anachronism Abroad (1994), Wouter Deruytter: Knights of the Impossible (1997), Cowboy Code (1999, essay by John Wood), and Billboards, New York (2006, essay by Vicky Goldberg).
Wouyter Deruytter was born in Roeselare, Belgium, on February 1, 1967. Having attended the Royal Academy of Fine Art in Ghent, Deruytter went on to study with Nan Goldin, Duane Michals, and Bruce Weber as an international scholarship student at New York's ICP.
