Biltereyst’s abstractions show the artist’s continued interest in the visual language of our urban environment. Fascinated by the vivid functionality of commercial signage — typography, logos, public advertising, and commercial graphics — and the struggles of that signage for our attention, his paintings are liberated from narrative constraint to form a purely visual and material experience. Biltereyst’s idiosyncratic, almost reverent approach, treats this source material as a precious find. The world of graffiti and advertising exist in harmony when eloquently moved from the public sphere to the intimacy of the gallery.
