"Adoration of the Mystic Lamb"

Posted by Turf One

So here is what’s been keeping me busy these past 2 months… I am proud to share this collaboration that my great friend and fellow artist Martin Wittfooth and I just wrapped up for the HEY! exhibition which opens on January 24th at La Halle St-Pierre in Paris.This is our first project together, with many more to come… Working with Martin on this was a great source of inspiration and the highlight of my year. This is amongst the most artistically satisfying projects I have ever been involved in. The altarpiece is a tribute of sorts to Jan van Eyck’s famous polyptych of the same name: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghent_Altarpiece The show runs through September 2013. “The Adoration of the Mystic Lamb” 80″ x 120″ Oil on linen/canvas 2013
