    A person is coming down and going up the stairs. Each direction of movement is equal. Guy Mees offers a possibility of transcendence and tonality. This clear gesture (within formal and visual precision) reflects on the economy of the artist's needs; a celebration of a formal low level modesty and a transient and ephemeral quality, a research on painting and art systems through color, shape and material.
