Alain Biltereyst
Alain Biltereyst's abstract artworks reflect his ongoing fascination with the visual elements of urban landscapes. Inspired by the vibrant functionality of commercial signage, including typography, logos, and advertising graphics, his works offer a purely visual and material experience devoid of narrative constraints. Often created on small, object-like panels, Biltereyst's pieces exhibit meticulous attention to layering, surface texture, and specific colors and shapes, often presented as a series that builds upon each other.
Based in Brussels, Biltereyst highlights the inherent beauty of everyday designs, such as manhole covers, fence patterns, or airplane logos. Working primarily on thick panels, he emphasizes layering, repetition, and the recurrence of specific motifs in color and shape. By isolating and reimagining elements from advertising and design, Biltereyst creates diminutive artworks that straddle the line between precious objects and fragments of design history. The carefully chosen scale and painterly surfaces draw viewers into a crafted homage to the world of advertising and design surrounding us.
Through his tile-like panels and more significant works, Biltereyst celebrates the convergence of historical abstraction with everyday aesthetics, treating his source material with reverence and transforming it into cherished discoveries within his artistic practice.
