Dieter Durinck
Dieter Durinck is a visual artist, designer and publisher. He lives and works in Ghent and has exhibited at Simon Delobel Gallery, Extra City, LLS Paleis, Museum M and Pizza Gallery. His practice encompasses a variety of media. In his paintings, he regularly combines digital elements or screen printing and often refers to a visual language derived from the advertising world.
In addition to paintings, Durinck creates posters and publications which he publishes in small editions. He is also responsible for Social Harmony, a non-gallery and non-music label where music and visual art meet. Originally located in an old hotel in Ghent, Social Harmony currently coincides with Durinck’s home. He has shown work by Maya Strobbe, Dieter Ravyts, Elke Van Kerckvoorde and Bert Huyghe, among others. The label mainly releases cassettes, with music by Gerard Herman, Victor De Roo, DJ Michel Gentil and David Edren, among others. The album covers are each designed by Durinck.
