Raymond Dierickx : "the Mystic"

RaymondDierickx (1904–1978) “The Mystic,” gouache and charcoal, 50 × 70 cm (image size), onpaper, 55 × 73 cm, mounted in a pH-neutral mat, 60 × 80 cm.
Ecstatic, this “Mystic” seems consumed by his faith.
This wonderful Belgian artist was a true discovery for us!Even when found as loose, dusty sheets, these drawings, once prepared and framed, reveal the full extent of Dierickx’s talent, which is akin to that of artists such as Nicolas Eeckmann, Fritz Van den Berghe, Constant Permeke, and othersuch as Anto Carte, depicting festivals, processions,and fairs in the grand tradition of Flemish painters dating back to the 17thcentury with the Brueghels, yet rendered with great modernity.
Otherfacets of his work showcase his fresco projects and large-scale decorative pieces, often with exotic themes, while his early watercolorsreveal a symbolist vein with an elongated style.
We dedicated an exhibition to him (PDF catalog available by email)featuring the first works we discovered, but we have acquired many more since then !
In partnership with Galerie Lafouresse, we specialize in paintings of the Basque Country, the Landes, and the Arcachon Basin.
