Ode to Dieric Bouts. Analysing by deconstructing each work into, the 1st layer: vanishing lines and objects, 2nd: the box, 3rd: the main colours.

Dieric Bouts was a prominent Dutch painter of the Northern Renaissance, known for his meticulous attention to detail and the use of oil paint, which allowed for rich colour and texture.

He was active in the late 15th century, primarily in the city of Leuven.

He is known for his mastery of perspective, often utilising a single vanishing point in his compositions to create a sense of depth and realism. This technique allows the viewer’s eye to be drawn into the painting, enhancing the 3-dimensionality of the scene.

Back to the root of all existence: being and nothingness.

13.8 billion light-years ago, in a vast dark environment where an energetic force was so dense and powerful enough to pressure a singularity matter to implode. By doing so, there was the creation of:

first Light, first Life, first concepts of Time and Space. The box containment: unfolded versus folded, and the act of the way how the paint is spread, tests the borders of chance, luck and gravity.

A series exploring all inside edges of a found box, and continuing the concept of unfolding, a box, and recycled art. ‘Objets trouvés’ are used as a starting point.

The box is a well designed product that is the result of a functional industrial and commercial process, to reduce it to its simplicity and essence, i.e. ‘Forms follow Function’.

In addition, a duality of time is visible, i.e. an intervention of an unfolded torn open, painted box, and another one of its past, with the visible folding lines of a sculptural object.

Varies between acrylic paint, liquid paint, paper-tape, ink and pastels on a cardboard box. A series of 39 unfolded painted boxes, various sizes. June – November 2021
