GILBERT SWIMBERGHE, Oil on Paper on Panel

Fantastic artwork by Belgian abstract artist Gilbert Swimberghe, where a geometric shape descends into a deep blue canvas, with diagonal brushstrokes subtly overlaying the delicate forms beneath. As the layers intertwine, previous elements emerge, finding their way to the surface. This work is a great example of his signature style, characterized by the prominent use of triangles and squares, a design motif he has consistently used since the 1950s.

Oil on paper on board, signed and dated 1997. Overall good condition with some minor surface marks.

About Gilbert Swimberghe

Gilbert Swimberghe (1927–2015) was a Belgian abstract artist associated with the post-war avant-garde. His work is defined by a restrained geometric language, evolving from expressive compositions toward a refined use of color, ultimately centred around deep blue tones.

From the 1960s onwards, he developed minimal reliefs in wood and cardboard, where light and surface become essential elements. His work resonates with that of contemporaries such as Mark Verstockt and Guy Vandenbranden, reflecting a shared exploration of abstraction in Belgium.
