I can't really say anything around your work,
except that they look very good at first sight.
Are they all based upon the shape of the region? And is your work mostly centered around this?
I know they're good, it wasn't exactly what I was looking for.
Most of my art at this stage centres around peculiarities upon the globe and within the English language.
So they didn't get the cogs upstairs working at all? I guess I am hoping that people might question their perception of reality to some degree, that my art might challenge those perceptions.
So no questions came to mind upon viewing those three images?
This is most of my art - some are still in progress, a few others I haven't uploaded as yet.

I haven't gone through this thread - i presume you also knock out some art? Care to share?
Well, I must agree some things popped up, something similar, although my starting point may have been off. Promise me you won't laugh
I had this idea that some of your work had comparisons with the map shape of regions, and you worked with that. Therefore I thought the shapes of the regions are in a way shaping the work, and the region, with it's perceptions, the world.
Also some local products popped up, that is partly shaping a perception of truth, (cause one of your paintings resembled for me also an art style of commercial products (France +-1900 - art nouveau kinda posters -

like a pizza from Italy, made by a real Italian "Mama" who specializes in delicious (smelling) meals for the family,
or eau de Cologne, from Cologne, that reminds you how my grandmother had this in the house, and she and her house smelled a bit like it as well
French fries, that are really the best in Belgium, so something went wrong there
an egg, with a peaceful image of a farm from the 19th century
chocolate from Belgium, with that pure bittersweet taste of quality
or pastis, from France, and in the past heavily connected with the sports of petanque and a little game with your neighbors during chilly evenings
or a cornetto, that is offering some gentle sweet and chilliness, cold, in warm days,
or a calippo, that brings you right back to your childhood,
...etc etc
Please recognize, within this thought process also the challenge, of those perceptions, towards reality,
all squirted out of mindless calculated machines or rigid/exploited environments and people (I don't go into details or you'll lose your appetite),
but patched up with images, feelings so that the consumer has this nice cosy feeling when buying them, and consuming them ...
