René Daniëls (DUTCH, B. 1950)

The Words are not in their proper Place

There will always be an end to the
Transparency of the paint, of
the paper. Always to see a painting. Ah,
Had it just remained a drawing. Scheme.
In search of the perfect balance
Between play and work.
An exhibition is also always part
of a greater whole. Now that I've ended up here,
the shutters close of the space very well.
What can be won from this game.
What I have to say can be done in a few
lines. I always find fruitful ideas
more interesting than the complete development
of those ideas.
And on a different level it is,
In fact, a mixture of those images
And the words that describe those
Images. The words are not
In there proper place.
Book Exhibition.
