About The Artwork

Abundance In this series I refer to the concept of plenitude as originated in the world of the Greek-Roman Antiquity. The idea of abundance, together with the feeling of well-being and pleasure, as expressed in the Greek word “Hèdonè” (Pleasure) is the inspiration for the series Abundance. The work refers to gods or concepts that incarnate abundance, like the Greek god Dionysos, the god of wine and of budding nature life. At first sight, one notices a predominance of floral and vegetal shapes in this series – bunch of grapes, grape leaf, grapevine, an imagery which ultimately refers to nature, but one rather quickly realises that one deals with mental landscapes which refer to abundance, dreams, sleep, intoxication, the enigmatic, the intoxicating forces of nature. One is never confronted with an absolute autonomy of form and of colour in these works, for they are heavy with traces of organic forms. In the vertical structures we see even anthropomorphic forms. Man as a being which remains within the reign of nature, an eternal challenge to everything cultural and spiritual.

At the moment my work as an artist consists out of making paintings and works on paper. I mainly work in series, whereby, after inner reflection, works are created around certain themes. I try to explore and work out these themes in different ways. Next to intuition and emotion, spontanity and vitality are the motors to realize my personal vision. In my work I strife to integrate the conceptual and the intuitive. World literature and poetry, classical mythology and painting itself, are a source of inspiration for my work, in which there is a coming together of abstraction and figuration. Language, in for me relevant words and texts, are playing a role in my work. Elements of language do mark the images and also evoke images of their own. A good part of the work has an erotic undertone. Ernest Van Buynder, president of the Museum of Contemporary Art Antwerp (MuHKA), wrote in the catalogue ‘Abundance’ (2008): One is never confronted with an absolute anatomy of form and of colour in his new works, for they are heavy with traces of organic forms. In the vertical structures we see even anthropomorphic forms. Man as a being which remains within the reign of nature, an eternal challenge to everything cultural and spiritual.
