Robert Zandvliet: Untitled, 1999
Tempera on canvas, 121 x 271 cm
Museum of Contemporary Art, Antwerp

With flourishing, fast movements, what the artist applies to the canvas exists on the junction between figuration and abstraction. Despite a stilled image, it is the dynamic that becomes most palpable. Inspiration shapes the landscape that to the artist is a metaphor of painterly space.
