Project

Art intervention and transformation of the stage wall in the concert hall, The Blue Hall at the International Arts Centre De Singel.
New relief with lazure-painting and copper. Colourcomposition and new profiles inserted in the existing wall. 
Dimensions 15x9 m.
My intention was to create a spatial and rythmic back wall behind the musicians.
This lazure technique is a reinterpretation in architectural scale of the traditional Flemish painting with multiple transparent layers. Warm red copper leaves are inserted in the new profiles and create reflecting light sparkles. 
Late Belgian Architect Léon Stynen designed the building and its concert halls
