‘There are images that become abstract and there are abstractions that become images. Pieter Vermeersch is not an abstract painter as such but rather an image maker; those mental images he finds in reality by photographic means. There is no such thing as pure abstraction. Everything is connected to some part of reality. The image of different degrees of luminosity or the image of the colour of the rainbow’s prism for instance, they fascinate Pieter Vermeersch by their capacity to represent a recognisable image, both identifiable and abstract, while emphasizing the process of image apparition, this “meta-image” in which time progression and space definition take place.’

Time, space and colour. These are the elementary building blocks with which Pieter Vermeersch creates his universe. How these elements are used and how they interact, is different in every work. Yet all the works share one feature: it is the viewer who, through the physical act of looking, combines the different elements and, more importantly, combines with them.
