(Archive) Remastered Art

New meets Old

A spool of thread, a pencil, a thimble or a safety pin – these are things we carelessly hold in our hands every day, but Serge de Vries forces us to really see them. For Remastered Art he chose old portraits, landscapes and still lifes. In his own work (small oil paintings) Serge isolates his subject and places it outside the everyday context. He does that again on these old masters. The chosen subjects have a narrative effect on the old canvases and invite the viewer to create their own story.
