QG Brussels - Alain Biltereyst. Slow Noise

Alain Biltereyst takes the fast, loud imagery of the city truck stripes, brand logos, graphics on the street and slows it down. His paintings on wood panels distill the mundane into something quiet, deliberate, and charged. Working with basic colors and simple forms, Biltereyst finds beauty in what we usually pass by: the everyday made extraordinary. What is often dismissed as low culture is here elevated to visual poetry. There is a tension at play between stripped-down modernist formalism and the messy vibrancy of popular culture. His interest in how the ideals of Modernism have penetrated everyday life through design and mass production is paired with a painterly approach that is careful, measured, and profound. His works exist at a crossroads: abstract and concrete, street and studio.
