In Marc Kennes' current expo “The evening walk,” the artist brings landscapes with fish. Very alienating. Hallucinatory fish that immediately evoke a sense of unease. The painter and the viewer are in search of veracity, trying to escape the reality of every day. Through the construction, through the act of painting, he involves the viewer in the pictorial and the plasticity of painting.
