Pieter Vermeersch’s painting stems from the transposition on canvas of intentionally abstract photographic images, patiently and meticulously translated into color, into tone through oil painting. The result is an oxymoronic “hyperrealistic abstraction” that suggests a monochrome shifted to another tone, a chromatic gradient of pure light that reflects the mutable nature of all things.
I literally paint an abstract picture in a hyperrealistic way. That is why I avoid any trace of the process, the labor, or the action.
