Roy van Ecke, Pseudologia Fantastica

Roy van Ecke adheres to post-painterly abstraction. While followers of this trend are ruthless in rejecting the inner and mysticism of abstract expressionism. "Pseudologia Fantastica" a series, which refers to the theory of lies, is a good example of it. Ron attempts in and by his works, to define and capture this eternal human vice. Like philosophers, ethicists, logicians, semanticists, semiotics, psychologists, sociologists and, finally, linguists, Roy van Ecke encodes his insights and reflections on the nature of lies. The artist presents in an abstract way the universality of the lie and its various forms.
