Description from the seller
This work is created by the Dutch artist Leo Schepens. His inspiration comes from his numerous visits to the small Romanesque village churches in the French countryside, in the Haute Saintonge region. These medieval structures from the 11th and 12th centuries have withstood the test of time for centuries, yet they bear the traces of their history visibly with them. It is precisely that wear, that “veil of time,” that provides Schepens with an inexhaustible source of inspiration.
A fascination with signs and symbols from different cultures and traditions forms a second important layer in his work. Schepens incorporates this symbolism in an intuitive way, often within a central composition, as if the viewer is invited to enter an unknown, mysterious world — a world in which we must find our own relationship.
His work suggests that there is more than the visible, material reality: a larger, elusive world that reveals itself to those who delve into philosophy, psychology, astrology, alchemy, anthroposophy, music, or mathematics — and of course also into art itself.
Viewing is, of course, possible. In addition, we have our own in-house framing workshop, which is celebrating its 85th anniversary. Furthermore, we make use of restorers from the sector organization: 'Restauratoren Nederland'. If you would like to make use of this, we would of course be happy to hear from you.
