Original artwork description:

INTO THE WARMING NIGHT
triptych 2023 - three monochrome studies
vertical hanging (on top of each other): 120 (w) x 250 (h) x 2 cm
optional horizontal hanging (side by side): 380 (w) x 80 (h) x 2 cm
ink, acrylic and oil on canvas

Three monochrome paintings (studies on canvas), combined as triptych, in a landscape format, that very consciously refer to the (only apparent) lightness of watercolors, Chinese ink painting, and the wonderful handling of melancholy drawn in water. These three studies create a bridge between my small ink drawings on paper and my large statement pieces on canvas. My inner inspiration: Love finds a place, even in the dark, even when there seems to be no hope. No light shines brighter than that of love, even in the midst of a moonless, black night. Love means eternity, because love is immortal.

This trilogy contains 3 single paintings, each in ink, acrylic and oil on canvas and each with dimensions of 120 (w) x 80 (h) x 2 cm. The triptych offers two very different hanging possibilities.
(a) vertical hanging on top of each other: beautiful and very creative hanging method if you have enough ceiling height. If so I prefer a hanging distance each of 5 cm between the 3 single paintings. In that case the complete dimension, including the hanging space between the three paintings: 120 (w) x 250 (h) x 2 cm.
(b) horizontal hanging side by side: traditional and also beautiful hanging method. If so I prefer a hanging distance each of 10 cm between the 3 single paintings. Complete dimensions of this artwork, including the hanging space between the single paintings: 380 (w) x 80 (h) x 2 cm.

The triptych combines following studies and should "read" from top to bottom (hanging on top of each other) respectively from left to right (hanging side by side): "BEYOND THE HORIZON", "BEAUTIES ALONG THE WAY" and "LOVE ALWAYS FINDS ITS WAY"
