Lot Essay

'Jef Verheyen was a painter. His tool was the paintbrush, his material paint, his medium light, his inspiration the visible, and his chief precision instruments his eyes and his mind (...) Verheyen painted an essential distillation of his vision, a perfume of the visible, and his paintings offer their viewers possibilities of seeing something new, remembering things forgotten, and experiencing things they have never experienced before'
(D. Pörschmann, Jef Verheyen, Le Peintre Flamant, Brussels 2010, p. 67).
