According to the renowned Italian critic ant curator, Professor Daniele Radini Tedesci, Lucas van Eeghen has ‘an extreme individuality.’ His actual three-dimensional paintings embrace one. Not with words or the rational interpretation of images. Like music, frozen in time and space. The intuitive images are emotionally charged and offer a tilting aesthetic.
His contributions to contemporary art extend beyond mere aesthetics. They provoke thoughtful discourse on the role of nature in art and society.
His unique approach is synthetic yet simultaneously baroque. Nature is crystallized, embalmed, elevated to eternity. It is frozen and petrified where the dividing line between organic and artificial begins to evaporate. Art is transformed by nature and nature transformed by art. The work represents a longed return to the original harmony between man and earth. It signifies the renewal of what binds them to the origin of time. The creation.
Van Eeghen engages with his audience visually. He also does so emotionally. He invites them to reflect on their own relationships with nature and the artistic process. His works often transform spaces into immersive environments, where the viewer feels enveloped by the essence of the natural world. This sensory experience is central to his philosophy. He believes that art should evoke feelings and memories. Art fosters a profound connection between the observer and the artwork.
His method of incorporating organic materials into his pieces creates a dynamic interplay between the 3D painting and its environment. This approach highlights the idea that art is not static. Art is an evolving entity in conversation with its surroundings. This innovative approach leads to a transformative viewing experience, stimulating curiosity and contemplation.
