About this artwork
Who is where?
The central, receding perspective, accentuated by the lines of the ceiling (beams and pipes) and the tile joints, gives an impression of theatrical depth.
The absence of figures creates mystery: The painting is devoid of characters, but filled with traces of human presence (the hat, the towel, the washcloth on the edge of the bathtub). We have the impression of arriving "just after" or "just before" an action.
The purple curtain… is a theatrical element; it seems ready to be drawn to close the scene, reinforcing the idea that this bathroom is a sanctuary or a place for staging intimacy.
The attention to detail in the gilded taps and the ceiling fan, where each object is rendered with a tangible texture, makes the strangeness of the scene even more striking.
This work evokes a feeling of contemplative solitude.
« If you could say it in words, there would be no reason to paint it. - E. Hopper »
Van Quickenborne explores time. His unique technique of juxtaposing oil and acrylic took him several years of research. His creative process begins with preparatory drawings followed by composition work. Each painting takes about 2 months of work.
Exhibiting since 1980, his reputation extends beyond borders: France, Germany, Japan, Luxembourg, Spain, USA, United Arab Emirates, Belgium, Poland, etc.
A member of the Taylor Foundation, he has received numerous awards and is featured in many private collections, at the Stadt Bühl Museum (Baden-Baden, Germany) and art books.
He is close to the surrealists, the visionaries, the steampunk, without really belonging to these movements. It is a painting rooted in its time while remaining on the margins.
"Such Art, served by a learned profession, by an intelligence that is both cruel and tender, will not leave indifferent lovers of high-end imaginary painting." L'Écho – Brussels.
