Gijs van Lith:
Van Lith’s latest series of work delves deeper into a fundamental aspect in his painterly
research, namely the balance between creation and destruction. This combination is explored
by the artist, challenging the established rules of physics by allowing intuition to play with space
and take its elasticity to the extreme. His painting in recent years has, in fact, acquired a more
sculptural dimension, which allows him to create, develop and manage his work in an
increasingly dynamic and materially more fluid way. The relationship between process and
finished work becomes an interactive dialogue in which there is neither front nor back.
