Roger Raveel
Introspection
2002
oil, synthetic mirror glass, canvas
145 x 114 cm
With his right hand on his knee and a square mirror face, Raveel
takes a sitting position in a space which
exhales void. The blue plinth falls
on both sides of the canvas and in this way goes
into the space outside
the painting. The square shape of
the green edged mirror comes back into the framed white emptiness defined in the background. The work is called 'Introspection',
Raveel’s right hand that painted on canvas, is prominently
in the foreground. As a viewer,
you are confronted with yourself by the
mirror and you become part of the work. Raveel allows you to be part of his way of seeing things.
His work has many contrasts, for example, between organic forms like human figures and nature and geometric shapes. All have a different
physical presence and a different approach in his way of painting. The observable reality
is very important in his work, as well as the relationship between space and time in which matter is brought to life by the spirit.

Narcissus
in Nowadays Society
2014
mixed
media on paper
80
x 120 cm
Narcissus is surrounded by emptiness, his own reflection
in the water is no longer visible,
his face is transformed into a head
without eyes, although he is still able
to call everything without having any idea of what
he’s doing. I’ve chosen this
drawing of mine in which the
confrontation with the mirroring image/reflection
is central.
In
this work I refer to Narcissus by Caravaggio (1598/1599). Narcissus, in the
stories of Ovidius, falls in love with his own reflection. He tries to embrace
his mirror image, but every time it disappears in ripples of water. This makes
him languish into a daffodil. I compare this with today's society where
everyone strives to be seen as an individual, making us more identical and
actually languishing us as well. I made this work during my Artist in Residency
at DRAWInternational. While working on it, a mirror fell and broke. I saw this
as a predestined occurrence. The superstition of a broken mirror comes from the
time of the Roman Empire and says that a broken mirror affects the soul.
In my drawings I make contradictions between figurative
and abstract geometric style
elements and want to make the
audience look at familiar images in a different way.

I will never Cheap Archeage Gold consider defeat and I will remove from my vocabulary such words and phrases as quit, cannot, unable, impossible, out of the question, improbable, failure, unworkable, hopeless, and retreat; for they are the words of fools. I will avoid despair but if this disease of the mind should infect me then I will work on in despair. I will toil and I will endure. I will ignore the Archeage Gold obstacles at my feet and keep mine eyes on the goals above my head, for Buy Archeage Gold I know that where dry desert ends, green grass grows.
