We wish you and your loved ones a Merry Christmas⁠! 🕯️⁠ ⁠⁠•⁠ On this special day we want to share 'Vanitas (flowers and soap bubbles)' with you. It is a watercolor in the full-on tradition of the Vanitas genre as we know it throughout the history of painting. In this work the artist alludes to more classical vanitas variations, where a skull, flowers, candlesticks and even soap bubbles form an uniquely assembled composition that works as a memento mori, reminding us of the transitory nature of human existence.⁠ ⁠ Read more about the exhibition via the #linkinbio⁠ •⁠ Hans Op de Beeck Works on Paper⁠ November 26 - January 15, 20223⁠ Galerie Ron Mandos, Amsterdam⁠ •⁠ Featured Artwork:⁠ ⁠Hans Op de Beeck⁠ Vanitas (flowers and soap bubbles), 2022⁠ Black-and-white watercolour on Arches paper in wooden frames⁠ 118 x 147 x 3,6 cm (framed)
