Gold Flower Painting

Antoine Quairiat is a Belgian painter currently residing in Buenos Aires. He creates mainly realist figurative works involving a play with the idea of representation, often by subverting the subject or adding a narrative layer in the composition. All his works are painted directly from life and are therefore usually simple calm compositions. They draw the viewer in, inviting serene projection into the paint layer They present a concrete subject but always leave a void to be filled by the viewer. All paintings on canvas or linen use a traditional Flemish Painter's recipe for preparing the support and are mounted on braced panels. This ensures great stability and longevity to the works.
