Sophie Verbeek at the Castle of Venthône

Description

After numerous international exhibitions, publications, and further training, this artist – like many before her – was drawn to the light, colors, and vibrant nature of Valais. Here, she has been freely expressing her overflowing creativity for two years. Coming from calligraphy, she preserves its strictness, precision, and love for letters... in the broadest sense: her inspiration comes from texts and goes far beyond their form. Sophie Verbeek loves to stimulate encounters with contemporary authors, poets, and pastors (such as Francine Carillo from La Sage). Sometimes she also writes stories herself (like the unlikely story of a small button). From this alchemy, aesthetic works with compelling reflections emerge. Although the artist enjoys working thematically (from a single theme, 15 to 20 images can arise), since this is her first exhibition in her adopted homeland, she has decided to give us an overview of her different worlds: paintings inspired by Hebrew or Indian themes stand alongside mischievous and playful collages or watercolors in delicate tones. An exploratory exhibition that should be visited at leisure: the artist has prepared texts that can be discovered at the edge of the works. And for those who prefer to hear the inspiration (once again) and listen to the texts underlying the paintings, readings will take place on Sunday, August 30, and September 6, at 4 p.m. Sandrine Strobino Note: This text was translated by software for machine translation and not by a human translator.
