Ranging from cool blues to grey hues, from palest of pinks, to lush greens and blood orange, Pieters’ idioynscratic use of colors both complement and contrast with the formal language, penetrating the viewer’s senses. Wandering lines, arbitrary shapes, poetic smudges and scratches dance between harmony and disorder, totally surrendering to the occasion. Big and small graphite doodles, which come across as improvised abstract gestures reminiscent of Twombly’s energy, subtly create an all consuming visual field. Intense mental activity is boiled down to light touches lending the paintings an ethereal, lyrical and deeply evocative quality.
