woord vooraf van ellen Witsen Elias
Alles verandert, niets vergaat
Jo (81) harkt het kleine stukje grond waarin de lindeboom staat nauwkeurig aan en Gerard (75) klimt op een trapje om het mos van de bast te schrapen. Mos doet rotten. Na de vuurwerkramp in Enschede leek de linde te sterven. Jo en Gerard besloten de boom te redden, ze gaven hem dagelijks water, legden een dijkje er omheen, ruimden het zwerfvuil op. En het lukte: de boom bleef leven en werd hun grote liefde.
Een boom, de boom...

Leonardo da Vinci
The language of faces
2018 || Paperback || Michael Kwakkelstein e.a. || Thoth, Uitgeverij || met inkijkexemplaar
Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) is undoubtedly the best-known artist of all time. He was famous during his own lifetime for his matchless gift for depicting human characters and emotions. He was one of the first artists to become fascinated by the expressiveness of the human face, be it deformed and ugly or beautiful and idealised. This is seen not only in famous paintings like the Mona Lisa and The Last Supper, but even more so in the dozens of drawings that he made of people’s faces.

Beïnvloeiingen
2020 || Paperback || Yves Velter || Merz
The work of Yves Velter (°1967, Ostend) deals with questions that lack answers, fear that masks desires, words that fail to communicate. Anonymous personae are placed in a timeless environment, the silhouette of their faces erased and replaced by materials linked to a certain symbolism. Through these metaphors, Yves Velter creates image codes that communicate the expressiveness of the unreadable.
What prevails for the viewer is an overall sense of unease, incited by Velter’s ability to unv...

Heterotopia
Paperback || Joost Colpaert || BORGERHOFF & LAMBERIGTS
Joost Colpaert (°1965, lives and works in Oudenaarde, Belgium) has been producing paintings and videos for many years in which recurring cycles, fluent progress and the force of water play a central theme. He is inspired by his musical background: where a painting is spatially restricted, music can continue to flow (eternally). In a series of paintings from around 2000 the idea of recurring cycles was expressed in the form of rings, streamers and tyres which wound around and through each oth...
