About this artwork

A passionate plea for the use of color with painting as the subject!
Michiels paints several overlapping abstract levels
like almost rigorous surfaces, of unusual purity.
Michiels often repeats structures from one painting to the next, creating correlations between different works and increasing the complexity of his intrinsic formal references.
Overpainting is a way for Michiels to stage a dialectical relationship between what his paintings… reveal and what they hide.
A pictorial reality that is no longer visible to the viewer arouses not only curiosity, but also uncertainty, because the visual information is retained.
Michiels considers his work process an adventure. "My paintings don't come together quickly. They are the result of a thoughtful approach."
Excerpt from the text of the catalog written by the Belgian collector and exhibition curator Christophe Van Assche.

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.
