Mil Ceulemans at Actionfields, brussels (be) exhibition: 'gambler's fallacy.' January 30 - March 07, 2010. opening: friday january 29, 19-22pm. hoogstraat 323, brussels.
Ceulemans is well-read, but he doesn’t make paintings that translate ideas. They are real paintings, which reflect on painting in the serious and amusing way that is typical of all art. (There is no discrepancy between play and seriousness, only between play and reality, as Freud wrote. Only play that is taken seriously can lead to new forms which for a while give us a grip on reality.) (Fragment from text Hans Theys, whole text you can find on homepage see links)
Crunching data, 200 x 140 cm, acrylics, inks & oil on canvas, painting by Mil Ceulemans.
