It can't be that empty

Painting exhibition

The Gaze Of Nothingness

At first glance, from a distance, the paintings look like flat images made in one colour. But if you look closer, it is as if you activate them. Then you see that they are complex, sensual, and multi-layered with strong colours running underneath to the edges. Then it is as if a presence hovers in front of or behind the ground, thickening it or hollowing it out, bringing them alive. If you stand in front of them, these paintings act as if they are the one’s looking at you, as if they are faces that are watching you watch it, smiling seriously and kindly, without taking their gaze off you.
