*Het Laar* is a landscape painting from 2011, the sort that Jean-Marie Bytebier is so skilled at creating. The composition is divided into two parts: the upper section, which is monochrome and symbolises the sky, and the lower section, which depicts trees and what appears to be a jetty. The painting is both realistic and abstract. Realistic because nature is recognisable within it, and abstract because it is impossible to identify the elements precisely. Bytebier excludes all superficiality in order to retain only the essential.
