‘Till the morning light’ by Dirk Bours

14 October – 13 November

Vernissage Friday October 14th, from 17:00 till 20:00

Artist statement: Driving my work is the need to react to the urban landscape and to reduce this to the basics of materiality, form, and pure painterly constructions. The main focus of my art practice is the creation, selection, and presentation of a visual language as paintings and installation art. Throughout this process I return to the question: What does it mean to act in and through painting on the urban landscape and what kinds of forms of action do painting suggest?

 

“That which changes our way of seeing the street is more important than that which changes our way of seeing a painting”
