Dreamscape Series

Dreams belong to the world of the imagination, during times of sleep or daydreams. They call up worlds of fantasy, ideals and aspirations.

The dreamscape series explores elusive worlds. The translucent shapes suggest the intangible stuff of which dreams are made.

This work has echoes of the artist’s favourite painter, Gerhard Richter. But rather than using a dragging technique, Thierry B has developed a delicate process of refining layer after layer of each dreamscape with a brush, blurred with a light touch.

Each painting begins with a layer of black. Then the artist works upwards to create a beautifully soft texture with hidden depth. The translucent marks on the canvas draw the eye deeper into this abstract landscape.

The Dreamscape series is a landscape with no beginning and no end. Each work is finished with restraint. It transmits a gentle calmness, making it one of the artist’s favourites.

When we embrace dreams, a world we don’t fully understand, we learn to live with the unknown.
