In them, we can see the recurring motif of the cowboy, already present in previous series, but from a new approach inspired by imagery s and popular culture from the seventies.<\/p>\n

His paintings, which always exude a nostalgic air, experiment on this occasion with new techniques such as applying paint with his fingers, achieving a peculiar, blurred effect.
\nIts yet mysterious scenes are here amplified by the smoky atmospheres that characterise this new series.<\/p>\n

Simon Demeuter<\/strong> (b. 1991, Soignies, Belgium) lives and works in Paris. His painting practice is inspired on childhood memories as well as from travels and encounters\u2026 His imagery conveys both an inner landscape as references to Folk Art, the Impressionists, cinema or music. Colour is the artist\u2019s primordial tool to evoke an emotion, an impression, a sensation, a mood or a physical or mental state. Compositions and sceneries are repainted endlessly, with gestural variations in colour, size and through imperfections. In doing so, Simon tries to unearth the trace of an emotion in the simplest and most stripped way.<\/p>\n
