Description from the seller
This triptych is created by the Dutch artist Leo Schepens. They are three works of 40x15 cm. His inspiration comes from his numerous visits to the small Romanesque village churches in the French countryside, in the Haute Saintonge region. These medieval buildings from the 11th and 12th centuries have stood the test of time for centuries, yet they carry visible traces of their history. Precisely that wear, that “veil of time,” forms an inexhaustible source of inspiration for Schepens.
A fascination with signs and symbols from different cultures and traditions forms a second important layer in his work. Schepens incorporates this symbolism intuitively, 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 in art itself.
Viewing is, of course, possible. In addition, we have our own in-house frame shop, which is celebrating its 85th anniversary this year. Furthermore, we work with restorers from the trade association: 'Restauratoren Nederland'. If you would like to make use of this, we would of course be happy to hear from you.
