Rich, rhythmic abstraction defines painter Cedric Van Eenoo's mesmerizing
ink and watercolor creations. Swirling, spherical shapes, articulated with
an ebullient grace, draw a viewer gently yet inexorably into these painterly
works. Cascading clusters of affecting, spirited composition captivate the
viewer, transforming the banal into poignantly mystical beauty. Cedric Van
Eenoo seeks the wild and deep truth, and hypnotizes us through his deft
ability to conjure the essence of a thing within his works, allowing our
minds to migrate freely through these plush, subtly ornate creations. An
earnest search for truth and purity pervades the works, which refresh us
in their delicate exquisiteness.
Art-Mine Press Release, NYC, NY, USA, 2011
Abstraction in its diverse uses and meanings can be observed in Cedric
Van Eenoo's artwork, choosing to give a conceptual inclination to the usual
perception of the world and its ways of representations. Clearly this lost
of connection with the real world as it appears results in astonishment and
a constant artistic innovation. Through his work, it is possible to subtly
perceive his way of expressing feelings, a journey that led him to divest
himself of anything that is not essential. Yet the colors and outlines
that shape his collection of works produce an amazement in which they articulate
our universe of signs and visionary codes. Watery celestial surfaces, purple,
pink, entwined with uneven black lines and circles: these are some of his
complex and meticulous works which retrieve the essence of universe. The
backgrounds of his paintings are enigmatic material interventions aimed
to provoke a gentle transparency. This is how, beyond the rupture of that
modernization that gave input to the origins of the abstraction, he arrives
to use signs associated to what is purely intimate.

Cedric Van Eenoo's paintings have a special use of line and color, his
compositions are both minimal yet powerful.
Fine Art Gallery, New York, NY, USA, 2008
Striking and darkly emotive, Cedric Van Eenoo's abstract acrylic paintings
are impressive expressionistic works painted in a deep, rich palette of
midnight blues, somber reds, lush purples, and illuminated by cool, lucid
whites. The colors are profound and brooding as a stormy firmament or the
fertile textures of earth. Expansive color fields are bounded by coarse
but definitive lines - beautiful imperfections, threads of light, scars
and fissures of accumulated time - scratched into the surface of layered
medium. Dark landscapes, thickly painted with vigorous, dynamic brushstrokes,
Cedric Van Eenoo's works are at once sensuous and somber in hue, arcane
and wonderfully raw in style. Cedric Van Eenoo is an artist with the gift
of an improvisational mind and the talent for the delicate balancing of
structure and aesthetic latitude.
Agora Gallery, New York, NY, USA, 2005
Cedric Van Eenoo lets his eyes wander over the least significant of things,
all these things that surround us but we rarely notice. Using acrylics and
inks in shades of white, built up with impasto, then scraped and scratched,
Cedric Van Eenoo puts the mundane details of our private lives on display.
The insignificance of our private lives is revealed with significance.
Art Up Deco Gallery, Paris, France, 2004
