Jef Verheyen - Window on Infinity
• 0295 • Zonder titel (Hommage à Van Gogh), 1976
PrivateVerheyen admires the liberation of light and colour in Van Gogh's work. In this tribute to that Dutch master we find the essential ingredients of Verheyen's painting: the suggestion of a landscape, a field of light, a shadow line, a subtle balance of warm and cold colours. With these Verheyen manages to capture the essence of the vibrant southern light. ‘For me it was not Van Gogh, but Verheyen who painted Provence,’ said Hans Liechti, a Swiss gallery owner and friend of Verheyen.
