Fragments
Whispers of Essence: An overview of this series of pieces created between 1998 and 2020.
“Fragments of nature”, Acrylic & Oil, 1998, 120×100.
In the ‘Fragments’ series, Joseph Delmeire ventures into the realm of abstraction, presenting isolated forms that stand out against stark white or black backgrounds. The restrained use of color in each piece evokes a sense of introspection and wonder, each form a distillation of a dream or memory, sharp in its solitude yet imbued with a familiar essence. The series reflects Delmeire’s own moments of isolation, the periods of his life spent in introspection and the revelation of his inner self on canvas.
“Energy in three moves”, Acrylic, 2004, 100×100.
Each ‘Fragment’ is a piece of a greater whole, perhaps a nod to Delmeire’s earlier days in construction, where every element had its place, and every form was part of a larger structure. Yet here, the forms are free from their usual context, inviting viewers to impose their own narratives and emotions onto the abstract shapes. The dreamy quality of the paintings suggests a peaceful resignation, a comfort in the fragments of life and experience that we carry within us.
“Galaxy”, Acrylic, 2003, 80×70.
This series is a testament to the artist’s matured style, a departure from the vibrancy of his earlier works to a more measured expression. It is as though Delmeire is stripping away the superfluous, focusing on the essential elements that convey his message. ‘Fragments’ asks us to consider the parts of ourselves that stand in relief against the backdrop of our lives, the pieces of our identity that define and distinguish us.
“Dolphins”, Acrylic & Oil, 2009, 60×50.
