This catalogue appears with Belgian artist Dieter De Greef?s first solo show at a European museum,?coup de théâtre? at CAC Málaga, which features a selection of paintings created over the last four years specifically for the occasion. Like a play or a film, De Greef?s works are characterised by the use of a saturated colour palette, interspersing abstract, even cartoonish pop art or fauvist elements to portray fictional landscapes or scenes inspired by photographs he finds online. He uses the same tools as a director to draw attention, build suspense, and surprise. Many of his paintings feature young, beautiful women, often nude, positioned in natural, idyllic surroundings.00Exhibition: CAC Málaga, Málaga, Spain (03.12.2021-20.02.2022).
