About "Ascending Form: A Tribute to Progress"

by Jan Keteleer

About the artwork

"Ascending Form: A Tribute to Progress" is a dialogue between past and present, an homage and a departure. Inspired by Marcel Duchamp's groundbreaking "Nude Descending a Staircase, No. 2," this piece takes its cue from the spiral of motion and abstraction that Duchamp pioneered. Yet, while Duchamp captured descent—entropy, the pull of gravity, and the fleeting nature of the moment—this work seeks its inverse.

Here, every ascending step symbolizes more than physical motion. It portrays a striving spirit, the resilience of progress. The form of the man dissolves into a constellation of lines and shifting planes, a deliberate abstraction that blurs individuality into a universal metaphor. Each fractured outline moves forward, suggesting not just advance but evolution.

The palette, a blend of warm ochres and cooling grays, echoes the tension between the earthly and the ethereal. The stairway itself is barely grounded, almost a mirage—a suggestion that the path we climb is both tangible and intangible.

This painting questions time's flow, imagining an ascension that defies its downward pull. It is both deeply personal and entirely collective, capturing that moment when, step by step, we rise—not just as individuals but as something greater.
