AI-assisted summary
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 of 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, yet carry visible traces of their history. Exactly that wear, that “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 relationship.
His work suggests that there is more to reality than what is visible and material: 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 framing shop, which is celebrating its 85th anniversary year. We also make use of restorers from the professional association: Restauratoren Nederland. If you would like to make use of this, we would of course be happy to hear from you.
