Color as a fait accompli.
Fred Michiels's latest paintings express themselves in a precise language of color, form, and space, with unhindered clarity, in the first person.
The work is generous in its hopeful clarity.
Yet these paintings find a certain restraint in the consistency of the palette and in the way the colors blend together only through a layered optical structure. This suggests a kind of collage process.
So there are… many paintings left under the work.
I don't know if this is Michiels' intention, but in his recent works I often find elements of still life or landscape imbued with the gravity of color.
He himself speaks of "slow fragments of a radically topical daily life."
The poster magazine "Temporarily Useful Zones" is devoting five issues to the new works of Fred Michiels.

Trained at the Fine Arts School of Antwerp and the Cooper Union in New York, Fred Michiels is a lover of the nuanced subtlety of color. He masters multiple, layered abstract layers achieved through overpainting, incorporating influences from minimalism and abstraction. His works, constructed and planned, are a dance between revelation and concealment, inciting curiosity and uncertainty in the viewer. This visual adventure delivers a sense of subversive uncertainty, where the intensity of color captures attention, provoking a questioning of what is hidden.
Fred Michiels has been represented by the Antwerp gallery Eva Steynen since 2011. He has exhibited with them at fairs in Cologne, Berlin, Rotterdam, Luxembourg and Brussels, among others.
