Many words unspoken

17/09/2007, Acryl on wallpaper.

A half hour warming up exercise.

The day before I went to a literature festival in Antwerp. The list of authors who

would declaim their work in public was endlessly. I only had the possibility to listen to a few of them as the festival was located in different places.

Later that day I met some people and we had diner together. Dinertime was way to short to learn to know each other well.

So, I heard a lot of stories that day, but it could be many more. :-)

The painting is a memory of that day. I simplefied the diner table (cups and bottles).

The unwritten and empty sheets symbolize the many words unspoken.

The background colour symbolizes the warm athmosphere of that day.
