Van Eyck in depth – GUM Ghent

Van Eyck in depth – GUM Ghent

These two triptychs were made for the opening exhibition “Van Eyck in depth” in the Ghent university museum GUM, which is located in the botanical garden. I based the colors on three views of a forest landscape near Chimay (where I lived) and on those of three views in the botanical garden in Rio de Janeiro. 2 different interpretations of paradise, on the one hand a “wild” landscape close to home, on the other a composed exotic garden.
