Piet van den Boog (1951)
Solid Vision
2007 | oil paint, acrylic on steel | 160 × 100 cm
In Piet van den Boog’s paintings on metal, the colour etched into the surface is a metaphor for his subject’s inner scars.
Solid Vision is a portrait of Israeli author Amos Klausner, a.k.a. Amos Oz. Part of the surface has been left blank and open to interpretation. The dark, gleaming steel heightens the contrast between light and dark in the painting and emphasises Amos Oz's features.
