He is inspired by the beauty he finds in his own photographs or in images taken from the Internet. His lyrical and eclectic approach seeks to blend various styles and techniques, combining figurative images and abstract motifs. He paints still lives of plants and trees, futuristic landscapes, masked characters, a glittering disco ball, tile motifs, a dead dog, and countless portraits of young women \u0026ndash; often seen from behind \u0026ndash; always with a remarkable hairdo, pose or facial expression. Ghekiere is fascinated by stereotypical beauty that seems literally too good to be true, and that, as such, provokes the emergence of melancholy and a sense of impermanence. The beauty of the image is called into question through the techniques the artist uses: colours blending together, so-called \u0026quot;Photoshopped\u0026quot; negative images, a strange shadow or an uncomfortable angle. As a result, his oeuvre, like that of several Belgian painters of his generation, belongs to the image-questioning contemporary painting: the medium is used to question the image, both visually and in terms of content.\u003cbr /\u003e\r\n\u003cbr /\u003e\r\nText: Hans Willemse\u003cbr /\u003e\r\nTranslations: Michael Meert\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\r\n"},{"locale":"nl","short_description":"","description":"\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eDe Belgische schilder \u003cstrong\u003eJoris Ghekiere\u003c/strong\u003e (1955-2016) maakt werk met een dubbele bodem. Hij laat zich inspireren door de schoonheid die hij vindt in eigen foto\u0026rsquo;s of in beeldmateriaal van het internet. Zijn lyrische en eclectische benadering is erop gericht diverse stijlen en technieken te vermengen, waarbij ook figuratieve afbeeldingen samengaan met abstracte motieven. Hij schildert stillevens van planten en bomen, futuristische landschappen, gemaskerde personages, een glinsterende discobal, tegelmotieven, een dode hond, en talloze portretten van jonge vrouwen \u0026ndash; vaak vanop de rug gezien \u0026ndash; steeds met een opmerkelijke haardos, pose of gelaatsuitdrukking. Ghekiere is gefascineerd door een clich\u0026eacute;matige schoonheid die letterlijk te mooi is om waar te zijn, waardoor er steeds een weemoed en een besef van vergankelijkheid opdoemen. De schoonheid van het beeld wordt in vraag gesteld door de gehanteerde techniek: in elkaar vloeiende kleuren, zogenaamd gephotoshopte negatiefbeelden, een vreemde schaduw of een ongemakkelijke invalshoek. Daardoor behoort zijn oeuvre, zoals dat van verschillende Belgische schilders van zijn generatie, tot de beeldbevragende actuele schilderkunst: het medium wordt ingezet om het beeld inhoudelijk en visueel ter discussie te stellen.\u003cbr /\u003e\r\n\u003cbr /\u003e\r\nTekst: Hans Willemse\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\r\n"},{"locale":"fr","short_description":"","description":"\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eLes \u0026oelig;uvres s\u0026eacute;duisantes du peintre belge \u003cstrong\u003eJoris Ghekiere\u003c/strong\u003e (\u0026deg;1955-2016) ont un double fond.
