The Textile Paintings pay homage to Bart Stillekens' birthplace: Tilburg, a city historically recognized as a textile hub. These artworks invite the viewer to forge an emotional connection, as the artist skillfully plays with the sensory experience of the audience.
By combining paint and textiles across various surfaces, the paintings create an intriguing depth that blurs the line between art and material. It often becomes challenging to distinguish what is paint and what is textile, thus provoking the viewer's mind and eliciting a spectrum of emotions. The balance within the composition is achieved through a carefully curated arrangement of colors, enhancing the whole and offering a visual spectacle that invites reflection and feeling.
