Mixed media acrylic

Rough material contrasts with a white square formed through sweeping brushstrokes on a pink and purple ground. Inverted lettering disrupts conventional reading and spatial orientation, inviting a reconsideration of visual logic.
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."
