Michel Kremer’s works are a surprising superimposition of several painting styles, producing a very naive and minimalistic oeuvre. The artist draws inspiration for his abstract compositions from his everyday environment; objects, buildings or purely abstract forms are superimposed and thus create a very spontaneous and unpredictable pictorial language.
The application of very wet paint creates a certain transparency and depth in the image. By combining the different elements, Michel deliberately wants to distance himself from the purely figurative painting in order to leave the viewer a free space for self-interpretation.The gritty brush strokes, from oil pastel to spray, also create an intentional child-like aesthetic in his paintings.
Slightly provocative and daring, the painter attempts to dismantle classical conservative painting by throwing the old rules overboard. In this way, he creates room for alternative and experimental techniques in his work.
