Galerie Peter Kilchmann is proud to present for the first time in Switzerland a small selection of works by Tinus Vermeersch in the project space of the gallery.

On view is a series of five works on paper, all tempera on prepared paper. The works are untitled and show landscapes. These are no real landscapes, but landscapes always without characters, architecture, or narrative. Flemish landscape paintings of the eighteenth century or of the great German Romantics of the 19th century come to mind. For his drawings and paintings Vermeersch uses an ancient technique thus creating a tension that attracts and fascinates. Vermeersch is the third generation of an artist family.

Tinus Vermeersch was born in 1976 in Belgium and lives and works in the countryside near Ghent. He studied painting at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Ghent. His works were on view in the following institutions: The Drawing Center New York, Stedelijk Museum Lier, Guislain Gent Museum, MUBA Tourcoing as well as in several gallery exhibitions.
