Slightly damaged; good copy. Inspired by Charles Baudelaire's poem from his legendary collection, Les Fleurs du Mal, Schönfeld Gallery brought five artists together, all having a certain sense for nature in what they create. They develop their imagery through a duality between finiteness and vivacity. Liberation and oppression meet in a symbiosis as the artists enter an artistic dialogue, sometimes harmoniously, sometimes contrariant. The still lifes of Pepermans, the patchworks of Ijeoma, the tapestries of Les Monseigneurs, the sculptures of Van Lunen and the intriguing and engaging works of Werner Mannaers, reconcile each other between hard and soft matter, but all with a special tactility and with the promise of the pictorial narrative. The urge to keep alive what cannot be kept alive is an organic, spontaneous thread running through this highly poetic selection..
