Bas Louter's most recent works are large-scale portraits in black and white, a move away from the distractions of colour. Using charcoal and ink, Louter creates images that give the sense of an old photograph or perhaps an archival image of a subject that is hard to pin down in time and space. The artist combines elements such as historical imagery, entertainment and film noir in a series of haunting works.
