Impressionist

Inspired by city skylines and garden paths, driving impressionism to the limit of abstraction; blue, green

The Urban Symphony: An overview of this series of pieces created between 1998 and 2003.

The ‘Impressionist’ series is Delmeire’s homage to the pulsating life of cities and the tranquil allure of garden paths. It is here that the artist’s impressionist leanings are driven to the brink of abstraction, capturing the essence of urban life with vibrant blues and greens. This series is a reflection of the bustling construction sites of Delmeire’s early career and the serene paths he traversed in search of artistic inspiration, a fusion of his workman’s pragmatism and the artist’s dream.

Delmeire’s cityscapes brim with the energy of metropolitan life—the same energy that once fueled his entrepreneurial spirit. Yet, there is a tranquility within these compositions, a serenity that speaks to his later life’s contemplative moments. It’s a balance between the kinetic and the calm, the concrete and the verdant, much like the balance Delmeire has sought throughout his varied life chapters.

Each stroke of the ‘Impressionist’ series is a conversation between color and light, reflecting the artist’s deep appreciation for the environments that have shaped him. From the industrial towns of his youth to the modern metropolises that hosted his exhibitions, Delmeire translates the complexity of urban landscapes into a language of beauty, inviting the viewer to find harmony in the juxtaposition of nature and human creation.
