Gage Opdenbrouw – A bit of paint

 

Good evening faithful followers of the Mill, this evening I bring a bit of paint.

For those who have read my rambles of this subject before will know, I am not a fan of the paint in the frame, in the gallery, behind a wall. But there is something about these images that caught my eye.

A little different and wonderfully dark arent they?

Are you interested in reading more dear reader? or do you enjoy the images? Personally I wouldn’t have read this far…but lets have a test with some more content and see how do?

Here is the artists statement of his work:

Painting is a means of communicating & deepening one’s personal perceptions & reactions to the world, the small things that strike us as poignant, even if only for a fleeting instant.

Painting is a means for closer observation of the world, and of one’s self. Representational painting is a language for expressing or recording what’s visible, but I feel it is of most interest when focused on something not entirely visible. In other words, I try to paint the exterior world in such a way as to evoke the mysterious richness & vastness of the interior world each of us carries within.

My hope is that some of that feeling is passed on, or generated anew in the viewer.

Still with me? Then let us continue. I had a further dig into the artists site and found these additional wonders…these are true wonders

That last one I would adore on my wall

His boxed comic laid out images also attract my caffeinated eye:

    So cool and unique. Not sure I could stand looking at #2 on my wall. I’d be totally creeped out every time I was by myself with that painting! Thanks for sharing!
