Gabriella Cleuren, Like it has to be, 2015
Highly pigmented acrylics on prepared Steinbach 250/300 g/mg paper, 73 x 54 cm (28 11/16 x 21 1/4 in.)
The casual friendship between children in miserable conditions in a tent camp is an example for adults. They are often biased, children are not. One child's lack is no obstacle to another. Only their spontaneous sense of togetherness counts.

Gabriella Cleuren, Eternal festivities, 2017
Highly pigmented acrylics on prepared Steinbach 250/300 g/mg paper, 73 x 110 cm (43 1/4 x 28 5/8 in.)
Eternal festivities is a critique of the endless events, a tendency towards continuous fun in masses, of excesses, a phenomenon that is becoming too much in our time and now has to be reversed. Excess harms.
BNOW00524OW
Events : today it is an whole industry, they organize constantly events. Nothing is wrong with this, but it is often the only pleasure that rests, it is like a drug , replacing the normal human behavior of being together with family- members and enjoy the deep human feelings related to social aspects of life : keeping together, help each other enjoy the silence and happiness of a family, doing things together. Some youngsters live from event to event and develop a behavior that’s insane.
Eeuwige feesten is een kritiek op de eindeloze evenementen, een hang naar voortdurend plezier in massa, van uitspattingen , een fenomeen dat overdadig wordt in onze tijd en nu noodgedwongen teruggedraaid moet worden. Overdaad schaadt.
Les fêtes éternelles sont une critique des événements sans fin, une tendance au plaisir continu en masse, aux excès, un phénomène qui devient trop important à notre époque et qui doit maintenant être inversé. Dommage excessif.
Ewige Feste sind eine Kritik an den endlosen Ereignissen, eine Tendenz zu kontinuierlichem Spaß in Massen, an Exzessen, ein Phänomen, das in unserer Zeit zu viel wird und jetzt umgekehrt werden muss. Übermäßiger Schaden.

Highly pigmented acrylics on prepared Steinbach 250/300 g/mg paper, 110 x 73 cm (43 1/4 x 28 11/16 in.)
It’s an older painting when I started to think about the symbolic of human behavior. A woman is holding a light : the symbol of clear seeing of honesty, in white and intense red, (colors of enlightenment and energy) behind her the symbol of darkness a second almost black figure carrying a candle, but he is like a treat. Many candles enlighten the scene. It’s almost like clair-obscure.

Highly pigmented acrylics on prepared Steinbach 250/300 g/mg paper, 73 x 110 cm (28 11/16 x 43 1/4 in.)
Painting of the month Januari 2019 ||| This image was compiled after many protests from young people because of dissatisfaction about the course of their lives and their prospects. There was an elder 91 years: Stéphane Hessel, Frenchman of German origin, who urged them to keep out and not to be put in the corner: 'Indignez vous'! This movement is already underway in 2015 when I dedicated a painting to it and now has a dramatic expansion because of the danger of destroying our planet, or better of the living beings on it. Does this bring the necessary evolution to another era, with conscious thinking?
BNOW00419CON
Young woman screeming, protesting , holding their fists in the air, the buildings behind slope . It’s just a contemporary picture that expresses the discontent of young people about the evolution of the world and their shaky future . Could be a climate change picture , but it is one of the time of the revolts of youngsters having no perspectives no work.
The French German politician and philosopher Stefane Hessel wrote a very thin book , a bestseller, about their situation , and incited them to revolt : INDIGNEZ VOUS , like he did in the war : the 40-ties.

Highly pigmented acrylics on prepared Steinbach 250/300 g/mg paper, 73 x 110 cm
A woman standing in a storm and staying upright is a painting about the human condition. She turns her back to the dark side of life (the negative ) and looks to the light. What will the future bring ? Ligth- ruins again? What is behind that wall ? It’s a very dramatic picture , almost the life of every human being. The colors affect the feeling : dark threating clouds, clothes waving in the wind , dark and to bring it in the right value , surround by white , grey. The light in front is yellowish, not radiant white.

It is not always necessary to make long journeys, you can also focus on the special beauty hidden in small entities, in the immediate vicinity, the wild, and a sorted, transformed element that includes strange beauty, even works abstractly or fantastic, own world.

Poëzie van de wildernis.
Door een verschuiving naar nieuwe horizonten in 2017 naar aanleiding van mijn poëzie van het woud 2014 , ook al omdat mijn "Brave new old Worlds" zeer belastend was, kwam ik terecht in de wildernis, overstromingsgebieden van de Schelde in "Buitenland, Bornem". Het is niet altijd nodig verre reizen te maken. Je kan je oog ook richten op de bijzondere schoonheid verscholen in kleine entiteiten, in de onmiddellijke nabijheid, het wilde, met daarin een uitgesorteerd, getransformeerd element dat bevreemdende schoonheid insluit, dat zelfs abstract werkt of een fantastische, eigen wereld wordt.

En raison d'un changement vers de nouveaux horizons en 2017 à la suite de ma poésie de la forêt de 2014, également parce que mon "Brave new old Worlds" était très stressant, je me suis retrouvé dans le désert, les plaines inondables de "Buitenland, à Bornem". Il n'est pas toujours nécessaire de faire de longs voyages, vous pouvez également vous concentrer sur la beauté spéciale cachée dans de petites entités, dans le voisinage immédiat, la nature et un élément trié et transformé qui comprend une beauté étrange, même fonctionne de manière abstraite ou fantastique, propre monde.

Es ist nicht immer notwendig, lange Reisen zu unternehmen, Sie können sich auch auf die besondere Schönheit konzentrieren, die in kleinen Wesenheiten verborgen ist, in unmittelbarer Nähe, in der Wildnis und auf ein sortiertes, transformiertes Element, das seltsame Schönheit enthält, sogar abstrakt oder fantastische, eigene Welt.
