Bas Meeuws' photographs are of an old-fashioned beauty and at the same time radically contemporary. Flower by flower he composes his still lifes, but digitally: the basis for Meeuws' monumental works are digital photographs of individual flowers. They nod to the Dutch masters of the 17th-century with their love of luxury, but also their eye for the ephemeral.

Summary:
Like other emerging mega-cities of the world, Dhaka has been growing exponentially, particularly since it became the capital of the independent nation of Bangladesh in 1971. Today, a visitor's first impression of this city could be bewildering. Dhaka is a quintessential 21st century urban narrative of whirlwind modernity.
