I didn’t visit this exhibition, this image just came across my laptop. Nevertheless I choose to share this with you because it made me shiver. The combination of this new work by Arjan van Helmond and the interior – it all comes together.  The home of Lucebert where he worked for 9 months; the sea that was close to the residence; a poem of Lucebert about a ‘Small revolution’. It is helpful to know that Arjan used to show interiors in his paintings. Now he has painted the sea while working in some of his own interior scenes. And he kept the traces of this scene in another way, as an addition to the new work, by presenting it this way. He made it possible to be part of it for a moment. I wish I had visited the exhibition.
