ABOUT IMAGE PAINTINGS
​
Born in Belgium, CLAUDE ROEGIERS began painting in California while persuing a career in fashion, which had a strong influence in his work.
​
During 15 years he worked on ABSTRACT PAINTINGS
His first series was called Geometry. In that series, made of thick layers of oil paint, minimalist geometric shapes and parallels were dividing the space.
The second series was named Textile as the paintings looked like painted fabrics with simple geometric forms.
​
In 2011, CLAUDE ROEGIERS started to use images combined with a "warp and weft" effect to create his first IMAGE PAINTINGS.
Image Paintings uses past and present images, from various sources, and covers them with a "warp and weft" effect creating a distant universe pratically timeless. This semi transparent "border"or "veil" allows us to discover the reality "on the other side".
​
This very personal technique allowed CLAUDE ROEGIERS to explore, in an allegoric way, a world of memories and feelings in order to reinvent and enlarge them.
​
The first series of Image Paintings ,Traveling Still, wax followed by many others creating a travel into a very personal universe.
​
The various series have been shown, with different galleries, at a large number of Art Fairs around the world:
