Product description
A large painting combining mysticism and realism, set against a blue background evoking the depths of the sea. It illustrates the metamorphosis of a man into a shell, probably a mussel. The face, like a mask, is transformed while the shoulder gradually freezes to take on the appearance of a shell, leaving only a few barely realistic elements of the body visible. Remarkable for its technique and quality, this work brings to life the painter's imagination in a canvas imbued with fantasy. This work was exhibited in 1993 at the Galerie Liehrmann in Liège, alongside works by two other artists, De Vos and Le Moult. This painting, the centrepiece of the exhibition, was featured on the official poster for the event (see images). Michel Van de Velde is known for his mystical work, a mixture of people and the animal world. A strong expression where the intrigues of the world are rendered in an exciting way, a very beautiful and deeply moving work. The artist presents himself as a master of realism, with extraordinary technical talent. He makes his subjects hover on the edge of metamorphosis, giving the impression of frequenting a mythical moment. Artist / Designer: Michel Van De Velde (1945 - ).
