The Missing Script / Painting No. 9
Robert Devriendt’s paintings are enigmas; or rather, fragments of stories whose threads one must try to piece together. The artist is profoundly influenced by the world of cinema. His paintings can be seen as parts of a storyboard that has been deliberately left disjointed or incomplete. Scenes are set, characters are introduced, but the interpretations and associations are left to the viewer’s discretion. The Missing Script presents two very small-format oil-on-canvas works (12 x 60 cm), encouraging the visitor to get up close. One depicts a deserted motorway, whilst the other shows a figure seen from behind and a moped in the middle of a forest. There is no pre-established ‘script’, nor even an underlying narrative in the artist’s mind. The atmospheres depicted by Devriendt are generally strange, bordering on the menacing.
