Description from the seller
This work was created by the Dutch artist Leo Schepens. He draws his inspiration from the many visits to the small Romanesque parish 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, but carry the visible traces of their history with them. It is precisely that wear, that “veil of time,” that for Schepens forms 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 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 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.
