His subtle colour gradient paintings fluctuate between figuration and abstraction in their navigation of time, substance, and space. Vermeersch's photographic images consist of skies, rainbows, or backgrounds from Old Masters paintings, synthesised  into a fluid surface that hides the artistic gesture. Behind their candid facades are the result of a complex process of subverting the boundaries that separate painting into figuration and abstraction and his efforts at depicting a visual analysis of photographic material. Vermeersch’s paintings free themselves from their subjective origins, enabling the viewer to thoroughly experience the painting’s colours and scope.
