RAOUL DE KEYSER – WORKS ON PAPER
2021-12-27De Keyser’s drawings and watercolors are a crucial part of his oeuvre. They offer an intimate glimpse into the artist’s thought process and work method. The drawings are only rarely conventional studies: they are often a reaction to his own paintings, but they can also stand on their own.
De Keyser’s works from the 1970s are characterized by his exploration of materials (pencil, chalk, watercolor, ink, graphite, gesso, etc.), types of paper, and techniques (such as scratching, rubbing and smudging). The work process itself gradually became the subject of the oeuvre, with hesitations and ‘mistakes’ increasingly being admitted into the works.
