Inspired by Balthasar van der Ast and the Bosschaert family, Bas Meeuws bases his art on reality before bending it to his will. For the exhibition ‘Flowers in Blue’, the Royal Delft Museum commissioned Meeuws to create a new series of artworks using Delft blue vases from the museum collection in a context where the vases belong, adorned with gushing baroque bouquets. It results in a delicately balanced artwork, blending classical paintings and contemporary photography to perfection.
