Water is our world
Exhibition Elvira van Bochove
23 May until 31 July
“Water transports vitality. Surrounded by water I’m boundless/bodyless. Water connects me to the beginning of time and with every part of the planet. A lot of my work is water related. My paintings are about rivers and the sea, but also about the water present inside us, and the life we live thanks to that water. It’s a catalyser of stories. Waves and currents stimulate the growth of an endless space in the imagination of people. When I’m in a river or lake, I experience with multiple senses how it wraps around the earth and connects time and space. I also work with lemons, carriers of sunlight and water. They form the base of magical conductors the help our consciousness to create realities. They help us to see more than images. In the old days, lemons were already being used to practice magic. Lemons would be poked with pins and would turn into lucky charms with the right spells.’
Elvira van Bochove is a multidisciplinary artist with a main thread: everyone and everything is stardust. She graduated in illustration and painting at the Academy of Fine Arts St. Joost, but also makes spatial work and leads a group of dancers, researching the power of movement and circle dance.
