Description
Monologue Intérieur by REMAUT.. Mixed media acrylic. 81 × 60 cm, 1998.
This is a unique, one-of-a-kind artwork.
Monologue Interior by Remaut is a highly textured work defined by a dramatic interplay of light and shadow. Built up through successive layers of material, the painting reveals a richly tactile surface that evokes the appearance of a weathered wall marked by time and memory. Embedded within these layered textures is a scratched letter R, emerging like a fragment of an inscription. Subtle highlights of blue and pink animate the composition, introducing moments of luminosity and softness that contrast with its darker tones. The accumulated layers and distressed surface invite close viewing, suggesting traces of history, erosion, and the persistence of human presence.
Part of the REMAUT. collection at Xochi Art Gallery, Serra da Estrela, Portugal.
Behind the Canvas
Roger Remaut is a Belgian abstract artist (1942, Oostende) Roger's mixed media paintings are constructions of material, incorporating objects found, textures, layers of paint and graffiti. Scrawled text begs deciphering, impelling the viewer to discover a hidden meaning though none is intended. His works convey a feeling of antiquity with damaged surfaces, scratches, cracks and spots. The paintings are built up slowly with many layers of matter and paint. They are continually changed in a process that involves searching, fighting and looking for a solution where the unconscious is relied upon for inspiration."
