TREES OF
LATEM ( I )
The
American-Brazilian artist van Chapman is deeply moved by the combination of
intimacy and majesty shown by trees. The avenues and woods with which
Sint-Martens-Latem is endowed call her irresistibly to make an artistic
exploration of the wondrous variety of nature. This yields splendid views and
colourful observations of bark and trunks. With their constantly varying
shades of light and shadow, trees provide a dome of peace and restfulness and
draw us into the mystery of life. Van Chapman’s work reflects her love and
respect for the nature that feeds us and revitalises us with inner strength.
In this respect she shares exactly the same sensitivity as her kindred
artistic spirit Myriam Vandenberghe.
As the child
of the Brazilian artist Isolda Hermes da Fonseca (1924-2004) and the American
artist Grover Chapman (1924-2000), van Chapman’s (1948) artistic gifts and
passion were inborn.
Having roamed
Europe and lived for a long time in both Norway and the Netherlands, she set
up Nature Studio in Ghent together with Myriam Vandenberghe, a project which
promoted a precious and loving interest in nature by means of art, photography
and philosophy.
Geraldine F.
Chapman (van Chapman is her pseudonym) has previously published the book
Love and Death, or the seed of the lotus-flower. Drawings and writings and
has completed the manuscript of a new book entitled Light over water, a
marvellous combination of nature photos and philosophical reflections.
You may wish to collaborate
with in the creation of a future exhibition

Chapman

project- Latem and Deurle
(for charity purposes: 20%)
Once this month I passed by a school in
Latem when the children were leaving and being collected by their parents.
I was enchanted by the site of those
beautiful expressions and faces and with their coloured winter caps and
shawls.
It gave me inspiration to dedicate these
dark winter months of December and January to draw or paint portraits of some of
them, and eventually have these alongside the exhibition of my latest work ( the
trees of Latem), in the Gallery Man and Nature
:Parents are welcome to bring me their
kids as models or leave me some photos of them,
if they should like to collaborate
with my project.
Though they may acquire the works when
they like to - at the Gallery’s price,
this is surely ‘vrijblijvend’. without obligation.

Van Chapman bij Mens & Natuur
SINT-MARTENS-LATEM:
Kunstgalerie Mens & Natuur-
Art gallery Man & Nature
Maenhoutstraat 75a,
stelt van 18 augustus schilderijen tentoon van de Amerikaans-Braziliaanse
kunstenares Van Chapman. Thema van de tentoonstelling is Latemse bomen. De
artieste liet zich hiervoor inspireren door intimiteit en de majesteit van
de bomen in de
vele dreven en bossen van Latem en Deurle.
De galerie is vrij toegankelijk op donderdag-, vrijdag-, zaterdag- en
zondagnamiddag van 14 tot 18 uur en na afspraak op tel. 0496-80.57.99. (avd)
De
Amerikaans-Braziliaanse kunstenares
van Chapman
is gegrepen door
het samenspel van intimiteit en majesteit van bomen. De dreven en bossen
waarmee Sint-Martens-Latem is begiftigd nodigen haar onweerstaanbaar uit
toteen artistieke exploratie van die wondere diversiteit van de natuur.
Het levert
prachtige zichten op en kleurrijke observaties van schors en stronken. Met
hun steeds wisselende schakeringen van licht en schaduw zorgen bomen voor
een koepel van rust en vrede
en nemen ze ons op
in het mysterie van het leven. Het werk van
van Chapman
straalt liefde en
respect uit voor denatuur die ons voedt en oplaadt met innerlijke kracht.
Ze sluit hiermee helemaal aan bij de sensibiliteit van haarartistieke
geestesgenoot Myriam Vandenberghe.
We appreciëren het
indien u op voorhand verwittigt van uw komst!
Openingsuren galerie:
donderdag-, vrijdag-, zaterdag- en zondagnamiddag 14:00 t.e.m. 18:00 uur
en op afspraak.
