Simon Demeuter (born in 1991 in Soignies, Belgium) lives and works in Paris. The early years of his pictorial practice were guided by a desire for formal simplification, imbuing his works with visual freshness and a sense of immediacy, directly inspired by childhood memories and scenes from everyday life. For Demeuter, color is a fundamental tool. A means of expressing emotion, impression, sensation, mood, or a physical or mental state.

Today, Simon Demeuter developing a body of work centered on the notions of vestige, trace, and erasure. He seeks to understand how memories and lived moments imprint themselves upon us, leaving marks that shift over time. His painting functions as a vessel, a tool of preservation that captures fragments of his personal memory while resonating with elements of our collective memory. Between appearance and disappearance, his work aims to grasp what endures, what falters, and what is reborn.

His work has been the subject of solo exhibitions at Galerie Bim Bam, Paris (2024); Reuter Bausch, Luxembourg (2024); BallRoom, Brussels (2022); L21 Gallery, Palma de Mallorca (2023, 2021); The Cabin, Los Angeles (2019); and Sorry We’re Closed, Brussels (2019).
He has also taken part in numerous group exhibitions, including at Nassima Landau, Tel Aviv (2022); Musée Francisque Mandet, Riom (2022); Frac Champagne-Ardenne, Reims (2021); Can Marques, Palma (2021); Galerie Gilles Drouault – Galerie des Multiples, Paris (2020); and Generation Brussels, curated by Evelyn Simons (2020).
