Belgian-born, New York-based artist Marc Lambrechts' fascination with cosmology and the search for our place in the Universe have surfaced repeatedly in his work over the years. The diverse range of materials used in Lambrechts' paintings, such as ink, clay, plaster, and wood, are emblematic of the array of elements that make up our world - elements that were created from exploding stars. To the eyes of any star-gazer, astronomer, or particle physicist, the events he depicts in paintings such Intriguing Story are recognizable as the natural events that they are. They are not, however, meant to be 'exact' depictions, as his work is more poetry than scientific dissertation, explains Lambrechts, and it 'is the characteristics of these materials and the mystery of the Universal scale - the infinitely small and the infinitely big - that interest me the most in creating.'
Lambrechts' work is exhibited in Brussels, Knokke, New York, Miami and London.
