Henk Helmantel (1945)
Still Life
1988 | oil paint on board | 32 × 42 cm
A graceful nod to the 17th century, the play of light in this still life makes everything come alive.
By composing his painting in just the right way – with just the right lighting – Henk Helmantel shows that even something as simple as four glass bottles can capture the imagination. His work brings to mind Rembrandt van Rijn and Johannes Vermeer, with their inventive use of light.
