Window on Infinity - Room 07
Ensemble
A canvas with stainless steel reflectors, by Hermann Goepfert. A composition with mirror surfaces, by Christian Megert. A sculpted torsion form, by Walter Leblanc. Unlike his colleagues, Verheyen does not experiment with mirror, glass or steel. He paints in oil on burlap and sticks to the two-dimensional canvas. All these works nevertheless have one thing in common: they are in constant dialogue with the light. Verheyen and the ZERO artists invite us not to stand still and stare, but rather to move past the works. In that way we activate light and space and become part of the work.
