Silence is a Message
A colourful survey of the work of Belgian visual artist Hans Vandekerckhove. Text in English and Dutch. “Silence is a message. The title of this book is anything but accidental. Silence rules in Hans Vandekerckhove’s paintings: a deafening but salutary stillness, as salutary as their intense colours and undulating, almost fluid shapes.” — Eric Rinckhout In his work, Hans Vandekerckhove (b. 1957) embraces the complexity of life in a unique and compelling way. His art is a harmonious synthesis of personal impressions, art historical references and a deep, intimate connection with nature, architecture and his environment. Vandekerckhove’s distinctive approach combines early Renaissance fresco techniques with the refined glazing of the Flemish Primitives. The result is a poetic visual language that hovers between tangible wonder and a world full of vulnerability. With contributions by Eric Rinckhout, Christophe Vekeman, Peter Verhelst and Els Wuyts. Text in English and Dutch.
