ABSTRACTION AS AN EXPANSION OF REALITY

Belgian artist Philippe Van Gele finds inspiration in the idea that abstraction can become an expansion for reality.
His works are mostly landscapes, which evoke a sense of abstract reality of foreign and distant places

HAZY EVOCATIVE VS POWERFUL EXPRESSIVE

When it comes to techniques, Van Gele uses mostly acrylic paint, worked on at length, dripped or scratched to produce a hazy yet evocative and expressive powerful effect. The shimmer of aqueous surfaces and the amber glow of clouds are shaped with virtuosity. His works are lyrical and colorful in a way that is not ostentatious, but rather surprisingly soft and peaceful, giving them an aura of mystery.
