Pieter Vermeersch: Variations

Pieter Vermeersch (Belgium, 1973) is an important contemporary artist, well-known for his gradient wall paintings that create powerful visual experiences. Since his solo exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Ghent, Belgium, almost 15 years ago, his work has been featured in 30 solo exhibitions around the world. Vermeersch combines painting and architecture, and explores the relationships between representation, time, space, and color. Beyond the borders of the canvas, his investigations result in large-scale spatial interventions that manipulate the space.
