Detail Description

Van Lith’s latest series of work delves deeper into a fundamental aspect in his painterly

research, namely the balance between creation and destruction. This combination is explored

by the artist, challenging the established rules of physics by allowing intuition to play with space

and take its elasticity to the extreme. His painting in recent years has, in fact, acquired a more

sculptural dimension, which allows him to create, develop and manage his work in an

increasingly dynamic and materially more fluid way. The relationship between process and

finished work becomes an interactive dialogue in which there is neither front nor back.
