Exhibiting for the very first time in Switzerland, celebrated Dutch artist Henk Helmantel will be showcasing a series of exquisitely executed still lifes, intimate table and interior scenes of medieval churches and monasteries. The exhibition will shed light on the development of the artist’s career showing very early paintings from 1969 up until today.
To highlight Helmantels sources of inspiration, the gallery will present a selection of works of Dutch Old Master paintings from Jacques de Claeuw, Jacob Foppens van Es, Hans van Sant, Willem Claeszoon Heda and Hubert van Ravesteyn.
With his unique combination of modern and traditional techniques, he receives much international attention, and Helmantel’s debut exhibition in Switzerland at Artvera’s Gallery is sure to engage viewers and collectors alike.
