Leo Schepens, Immortaliter, mixed media, original edition, 89 by 53 cm, Netherlands, sold with frame.
Description from the seller
This work is by the Dutch artist Leo Schepens. He finds his inspiration in the many 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 withstood the test of time for centuries, but carry the marks of their history visibly with them. Precisely that wear, the “veil of time,” forms for Schepens 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 processes 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 relation.
His work suggests that there is more than the visible, material reality: a larger, intangible 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 year. Furthermore we make use of restorers from the professional association: 'Restauratoren Nederland'. If you would like to make use of this, of course we would be happy to hear from you.
