From October 7, 2023 to March 3, 2024 in the SMAK (Ghent) 'The End Is Never Near', the first retrospective exhibition devoted to the work of the Belgian artist Jan Van Imschoot. La beauté incessible - Jan Van Imschoot Original screen print on BFK Rives 250 g ragless, handmade paper Printed at Seriart, in collaboration with Roger Vandaele, Antwerp Edition of 60 - numbered (the number offered may differ from the photo), signed and titled The work is in mint condition. La beauté incessible (the untransmittable beauty) is based on Jan Van Imschoot's painting The End from 2008. For this work, the artist was inspired by the films of filmmaker Luis Buñuel. Just like the surrealist filmmaker, he plays with the boundaries between reality, imagination, memory and fantasy. Although we are in a cozy and bourgeois interior, the room seems strange because of the enormous portrait of Catherine Deneuve, who played the leading role in Buñuel's Belle de Jour and Tristana. The portrait on the wall shows Deneuve in all her humanity, but also at a moment in which she gives shape to her character's deepest feelings. The Spanish-oriental bed is a nod to Buñuel, while the flowers, fruit and coffee table hark back to the still lifes from the Flemish Baroque - scenes that depict wealth as well as eroticism and transience.
