Galerie Roger Katwijk is happy to announce the third solo exhibition by Belgium artist Stefan Peters.
In the exhibition 'Hyper Vista', the artist presents a new variant of the Vistas, called the Symmetry series.
Like a sequence of inkblots from a Rorschach test, the multiple-mountable diptychs evolve into increasingly abstract forms, almost unrecognizable from their original selves. Stacked horizontally, they evoke the illusion of a tranquil water surface; aligned side by side, they conjure a panoramic vista; and when positioned vertically, they unveil a disorienting universe. Like a kaleidoscope, these panels evoke spontaneous associations, revealing shapes that seem to materialize out of thin air, introducing an otherworldly dimension that’s open to be explored by the subconscious. Both panels are painted simultaneously – one with the left hand, the other with the right. This is a new approach for Peters, who otherwise holds his brush with his right hand only. From afar, the symmetry appears to be nearly flawless, yet upon closer inspection, viewers may find themselves ensnared in the intricacies of brushstrokes, pondering which half is the original and which the duplicate. The fact that Peters is part of an identical twin adds an additional layer of complexity to this approach.
