Roger Dudant (1929 - 2008) participated in 1955 in the "International Exhibition of Contemporary Art" at the Carnegie Institute in Pittsburgh and in 1956 in the exhibition organized by Belgian Shell at the Palais des Beaux-Arts. In 1961 the artist had a personal exhibition at the "Albert Landry Galleries" in New York. In the 1970's he was a founding member, with Zéphir Busine, of the "Hainaut 5" group of artists and became Professor at the "La Cambre Institute" in Brussels, succeeding to his close friend and Professor Paul Delvaux. In 2012 Group 2 Gallery paid tribute to Dudant with a one-man show "The beauty of natural, urban & industrial landscapes".

"Peindre, c'est transcrire sur la toile sa vision de l'environnement. Or, cette vision, il faut l'assimiler, s'en souvenir, trouver sa structure intérieure, la réinventer, la charger d'athmospère, et ce faisant, elle en devient presque abstraite. Abstraction et figuration sont deux pôles qui se complètent, s'entremêlent, s'enrichissent, mutuellement. Peindre, c'est en quelque sorte se souvenir et exprimer selon sa vision personnelle ce qui s'est élaboré dans son subconscient".  Roger Dudant
