piet raemdonck
brief: create a cinematic insight into the art and practice of belgian painter piet raemdonck in the run up to his london solo show with gallery the finch project.
based on a series of in-depth conversations with the artist, this series of films are specifically designed to highlight three aspects that are integral to piet raemdonck’s artistic approach to painting.
colour, medium, and border are not only important elements in the oeuvre of piet raemdonck, they serve also as insightful and potentially educational themes; elevating the communicative appeal of these films.
the cinematography freely moves throughout the artist’s studio, inviting the viewer into the intimate atmosphere of a creating artist’s orbit. alternating between different close ups brings a tactile feel to the films, which are punctuated with the dynamic energy of a smoothly moving camera that mimics the energetic choreography of the working painter himself.
having piet raemdonck narrate the films adds a level of personality, charm, and interesting insight that makes these films serve as timeless cinematic documents of what it means to be an artist, a philosopher on painting, and a creative human.
