... Art can not be better served than by a negative thought.The obscure and humble steps for the spirit of a work of art are as necessary as black to white. Work and create "for nothing," that his work has no future, work to see destroyed in a day and be aware that it is essentially not more important than carving for centuries, which is the difficult wisdom through the absurd thought is legitimate. Undertake the same time these two tasks, on the one hand, the denial, on the other hand, the rapture, which is the road that opens itself to the absurd artist. He must give the void color. This leads to a particular view of the art work. One considers the work of an artist too often as a succession of individual testimonies. One then confuses the artist with the literator. A profound thought is in constant becoming, mixes with the experience of a lifetime and forms accordingly. Likewise, living the only creation of a man in the successive and frequent forms that are his works. One complements the other to it or retrieves it and speak it corrects also against ....
from "The Myth of Sisyphus" an essay on the absurd, Albert Camus
......艺术不能比消极思想更好地服务。艺术品精神的晦涩和卑微的步骤是必要的，从黑到白。工作和创造“无所事事”，他的工作没有前途，工作看到一天被毁坏，并意识到它基本上不比几个世纪的雕刻更重要，这是荒谬的思想中的困难智慧是合法的。同时承担这两项任务，一方面是否认，另一方面是被剥，这是向荒谬的艺术家开放的道路。他必须给出无效的颜色。这导致了对艺术作品的特定观点。人们常常将艺术家的作品视为一系列个人见证。然后，一个人将艺术家与文人混为一谈。一个深刻的思想在不断变化，与一生的经验相结合，并相应地形成。同样地，生活在他的作品中连续和频繁形式的人的唯一创造。一个补充另一个或检索它并说它纠正也....

the constant urge to look for other exotic places, preferably with a high selfie content. The restlessness of human nature, fueled by a learned urge to consume that imposes a need to travel further and more frequently. The environmental problems associated with this are denied or hidden.

Images from a bygone era. Family pictures from the old box, found in the attic and stripped of their personal information by the painter by blurring the faces and place of appearance. It is indefinable. The men and women stand still, isolated or in small groups. The moment is there for them. Which moment is of no importance. It is one recording of meaning in their own existence, to look back on, but another spectator finds no meaning or importance in the image processed by the painter. This history has long since passed, all that remains is the small photo, and it will disappear with time. One could experience the emptiness and absence as negative, but that is not the message of the painter. It's just like that. The omission, the void or the lack, can always be found in Roes' work. Blank signposts, frames, placards, books, sheets, hands and glasses ... Empty until you become uncomfortable with it, and begin to desire and search for content or story to be able to orient yourself in this chaos of indefinability. A reference point could provide you with guidance, but the painter ignores that. It is a game. Like chess. You can follow rehearsed centuries-old traditional chess movements, or you can also move more intuitively with the wooden blocks, until an unexpected pattern pops up in your mind, and you suddenly experience beauty, even though there is (at first sight) nothing to see. That is the only form of meaning that Roes seeks while playing in his own work.

Frayed flags
Nowadays a lot of people are waving with flags, a sign of searching for identity and confirming differences between groups of people. The flags of Roes are not recognizable. They are crumpled, damaged, stored away or cut up. Their current function is unclear. Do they still have a purpose? Their representation seems absurd, like props in the wrong place. Unrecognizable symbols with different colors adorn the flags. It could be about past glory and power ... and the influence of time.

an interpretation of a great work by Géricault: the raft of the Medusa. A raft with drowning people who see a bright spot on the horizon in extreme need. The Argos ship comes to save those who are still alive. With this interpretation by Bob Roes, entitled "David, you sexy b * tch", only 6 figures can be seen. They seem to be in a sort of Tomorrowland party. There is no interaction, they seem to be waiting aimlessly for something. A new number from the boxes, or rescue of their raft? There is certainly nothing to be seen on the horizon of the dark waters. Only the zwerk shows condensation stripes of passing jet aircraft. Worry determines the atmosphere in this work. At Géricault there is the accomplished fact of the final rescue, despite the many victims. The viewer is reassured, salvation is on its way. The corpses lie on the left-hand side, the arms outstretched on the right-hand side towards the rescuers. With Roes there is nothing in the air, there is no expectation. The figures therefore radiate apathy, you cannot even suspect the lady lying in the inflated duck of holiday feelings. There are no corpses, but there is also no hope, only figures at rest and inertia. Only the DJ seems to play an other song ...
