about this work
To celebrate the 100th anniversary of Emaillerie Belge, Kasper Bosmans crafted a portrait of last century’s enamel production, shaped into a painter’s palette. End Of Day is inspired by early 20th-century enamel, renowned for its vibrant and random parrot-like colors. These colors emerged from blending the day’s leftover enamel into wild, splattered patterns and bright, flowing streaks. The rainbow of random color combinations formed a unique portrait of daily production.
about Kasper Bosmans
Kasper Bosmans dives deeply into the rich cultural history of materials, objects, traditions and customs. The references in his work betray a broad spectrum of sources, from folkloristic stories and cultural practices to historic research on painterly techniques or botanical cross-breeding. He continuously expands on his interests, subjecting them to careful scrutiny.
Legends is a series in which this affluence of references is clearly visible. The title refers to both a story of the past, as well as a brief explanatory text. By combining a multitude of references and compiling the different elements from his field of study into a new visual narrative, Kasper Bosmans creates a highly poetic visual mythology opening up the possible meanings all individual elements might have.
