Acrylage Noir
REMAUT.
Mixed media acrylic
200 × 149 cm
A commanding grey surface, subtly animated by purple highlights, incorporates an iron bar and a rope that extends beyond the canvas, asserting the work’s physical presence. Protruding materials emphasize depth and objecthood, blurring the boundary between painting and sculpture. The materials—rope and rebar sourced from the Visserskaai and sand gathered from Ostend’s Grote Strand—anchor the work in the artist’s hometown of Ostend, embedding the city’s maritime soul and character into the composition.
Exhibited at a solo exhibition at the Museum of Fine Arts, Ostend.
Behind the Canvas
Roger Remaut is a Belgian abstract artist (1942, Oostende) Roger's mixed media paintings are constructions of material, incorporating objects found, textures, layers of paint and graffiti. Scrawled text begs deciphering, impelling the viewer to discover a hidden meaning though none is intended. His works convey a feeling of antiquity with damaged surfaces, scratches, cracks and spots. The paintings are built up slowly with many layers of matter and paint. They are continually changed in a process that involves searching, fighting and looking for a solution where the unconscious is relied upon for inspiration."
