Tinus Vermeersch  °1976 Belgium

He makes small drawings in sepia and other colours that evoke peculiar, foreign, surreal and fanciful scenes that more or less leave behind a far echo of old painting, with Breugel and Bosch as formal references. When one looks more closely, Tinus’ drawings can be read as extremely sensitive "notes" of dreams and impressions that do not (or no longer) correspond to this world. Or don’t they?
Those who look carefully notice that Tinus Vermeersch gives life’s great themes a chance via compositions that sometimes deal with life in a wry way. Tinus Vermeersch invented a miniature mural at Grusenmeyer that he executed in an old technique.
