And more good news!
My installation with “boat and canes” has left the atelier and will find it’s place in the collection of the Verbeke Foundation.

I present Serie 3 made this year: 6 collages and 12 paintings. From today until 11 April next year in the Collage Museum of the Foundation.

Nr.39 | 60/60cm | oil on canvas

Cutted up the photobook “America At Work” from Lewis W. Hine and selected six collages.

Projection on floor and wall of an abstracted crowd of people. First shown in 2014.
Today I gave the work it’s final title.

Nr. 38 (Les Icons Du Dimanche) | 6*60/60cm | oil on canvas

Six paintings based on Eleousa type of medieval icons.

Nr.37 | 60/60cm | oil on canvas

To finish my presentation of serie3: these are the collages i used as base material for the 6 smaller paintings, nr.25-30, who in their turn were an inspiration for the bigger ones, nr.31-36.

This is the last one of serie 3 : 12 paintings based on collages made exclusively using pictures of the Photo Poche book with works of photographer Roger Ballen. I bought the book after visiting his expo in Brussels “The Theatre Of The Ballenesque”.
