Terminus: Drawings (1979 - 1982) and Recent Paintings

This book documents the artist's 2009 exhibition at David Zwirner in New York. Featured are 50 pieces which make up two complementary bodies of work: recent paintings (most from 2008 to 2009) and drawings (created from 1979 to 1982 made on different types of paper and diverse media, including pencil, ink, watercolor, acrylic and oil chalk). Modest in size, De Keyser's works have a special intimacy that derives from the physical characteristics of the medium itself, as well as the tension created between plane and depth, figure and ground.
