Belgische Moderne

Online - Moderne und zeitgenössische Kunst – Eins von 100 Exemplaren. Van Velde war stilistisch dem Tachismus und der Lyrischen Abstraktion nahestehend - der europäischen Entsprechung des amerikanischen Abstrakten Expressionismus. Seine Kompositionen zeichnen sich durch erkennbare, teils geometrische Formen aus, die durch transparente Farbschichten in Spannung zueinander gesetzt werden, stets auf der Suche nach Balance zwischen den Farbfeldern. Die monumentale Bogenform in Ocker, Dunkelbraun und Graugrün steht exemplarisch für van Veldes lyrisch-abstrakten Stil der 1960er-70er Jahre, in dem gestische Pinselzüge und transparente Farbschichten existenzielle Spannungen - Schutz und Bedrohung, Innen und Außen - sichtbar machen. Als enger Freund Samuel Becketts und Teilnehmer der documenta 1964 zählt van Velde zu den bedeutendsten Vertretern des europäischen Informel, dessen Werke heute in internationalen Museen wie der Tate Gallery London hängen.

Online - Modern and Contemporary Art – Untitled. Color lithograph on Japanese paper. Signed and numbered. Minimal brown spots. A magnificent, vibrant print that nearly fills the page. One of 100 copies. Stylistically, Van Velde was closely associated with Tachism and Lyrical Abstraction-the European counterpart to American Abstract Expressionism. His compositions are characterized by recognizable, partly geometric forms that are set in tension with one another through transparent layers of color, always seeking a balance between the color fields. The monumental arch-shaped form in ochre, dark brown, and gray-green exemplifies van Velde's lyrical-abstract style of the 1960s and 1970s, in which gestural brushstrokes and transparent layers of paint reveal existential tensions-protection and threat, interior and exterior. As a close friend of Samuel Beckett and a participant in documenta 1964, van Velde is one of the most significant representatives of European Informel, whose works are now on view in international museums such as the Tate Gallery in London.
