About this artwork

This artwork is inspired by fragments of the book ‘Bezonken Rood’ by Jeroen Brouwers. The fragments that inspired the artist are about his memories of a long-lost love: Liza.

“...somewhere in my head a movie projector was turned on and in two seconds the movie I thought I had completely forgotten was played for me. Through the swarm of festively dressed bodies, Liza came to me as though through a decorated city full of flapping flags (Liza laughing;… Liza staring at the window of her apartment, she lives above a clock shop; Liza naked and how I caress her; Liza walking along in a procession; all in colour...”

(From ‘Bezonken Rood’ by Jeroen Brouwers)

The artist wrote text fragments with leaf metal in gold and bronze colors. The changing incidence of light during the day ensures that the texts stand out more or less. The texts are in English.

The artwork is ready to hang and framed in a blank wooden frame.

« When you read, you travel to all kinds of places. I try to capture them on canvas. »

Elise Eekhout is a visual artist working at the intersection of painting and graphic design. Her practice explores the language of light, texture, and text. Letters fascinate her not only as carriers of meaning but also as abstract forms — beautiful shapes that dissolve the moment we begin to read them. By combining traditional techniques with contemporary materials such as gold and silver leaf, she creates layered works that shift with light and perspective. Depending on where the viewer stands, words emerge or vanish, landscapes solidify or dissolve. Her paintings therefore never remain static: they are living surfaces, changing with time, movement, and light. Recurring themes in her work are memory, transformation, and our relationship with nature. From abstract landscapes to text-based compositions, she seeks to evoke both wonder and reflection. Her art connects the fragility of human stories with the enduring rhythms of the earth, offering viewers a space for contemplation.
