“Silence is a message. The title of this book was not chosen by chance. In the paintings of Hans Vandekerckhove, silence reigns: a deafening but soothing silence, as soothing as their intense colours and undulating, almost fluid shapes.” — Eric Rinckhout
In his oeuvre, artist Hans Vandekerckhove (°1957) embraces the complexity of life in a personal and compelling way. His work is a harmonious fusion of personal impressions, art historical references and a profound, intimate connection with nature, architecture and the people around him. In his unique approach, Vandekerckhove combines the centuries-old fresco painting of the early Renaissance with the refined glazing technique of the Flemish primitives. The result is a poetic visual language that balances on the border between tangible wonder and a world full of vulnerability.
