Koen Delaere: White Noise Rainbow

Fox Jensen presents the second solo exhibition of Koen Delaere.

“I very much view Delaere’s painting as being aligned to his engagement with life – with music in particular, though the painting is not limited in its wider metaphorical reach. The deliberate way that he builds a densely layered field as a kind of geological stratum – one that he then reveals in a series of volatile tectonic actions gives these paintings a character that rests on a flamboyant resolution of duality. The polarities of north/south, push/pull, thick/thin, ascension/fall all cohere around the painting’s central vertical axis and yet these works are made flat to the floor where gravity itself is less dictatorial.”
