Provenance: - Artist's studio - Marin Price Gallery, Washington, USA - Findlay galleries, USA Sold with invoice and a certificate of authenticity from Mr. Thierry Tuffier, specialist in the artist's work. Flemish in its own right, his work is inspired by the subtle light that cradles the great plains of the North, the generosity of the Flemish, the strength of the winds that blow on the coasts. Painter of color, his works never cease to surprise us with their brilliance and power. A very strong intensity emerges from each of the touches of color affixed. As if by a miracle, a symphony of colored notes caresses our retina. Power and ardor spring from the works of Van Hecke, in moderation they will awaken a still life, with a sometimes violent force, they will give a portrait an incomparable emotion. Each object by a precise touch takes a natural and authentic place in the composition. Numerous meetings during his life have made his work evolve, his Flemish origins have marked him, all these points are important to study in order to discover or better know Arthur Van Hecke.
