Immediacy and Spontaneity:
Vandewalle adopts a dynamic and rapid technique that allows his pieces to resonate with vitality while seizing instant impressions of his subjects.
Process-Oriented:
He perceives painting as an evolving process, frequently dismantling and rebuilding elements of the artwork using bold, gestural strokes to preserve liberty and expressiveness until the conclusion.
Emphasis on Expression over Detail:
He concentrates on the emotional impact and capturing the core of a subject rather than adhering to a strict, traditional representation. The rough surface of the canvas and apparent brushstrokes highlight the physicality of the paint, adding to the artwork's raw, immediate presence.
