Axel Vervoordt Gallery at Art Brussels

From 19 'till 22 April you can find us at Art Brussels.
The gallery will be closed during the fair.
For more information about the fair, see: www.artbrussels.be

The eye catcher at our booth will be Ad Reinhardt's meditative "Abstract Painting" from 1959, an important black monochrome that perfectly incorporates the artistic philosophy of Axel Vervoordt Gallery. Like Allen Watts wrote in The Spiritual in Art: "What is form that is emptiness, what is emptiness that is form [...] Granting one's vision sufficient time to perceive a black painting by Ad Reinhardt is equivalent to the assumption of a meditative position. Then the painting seems to yield its essence all at once."



See you in Brussels!
