Gilbert Swimberghe, White Lacquered Wood Relief

White lacquered wood relief by Belgian abstract artist Gilbert Swimberghe, created in Belgium in 1977. The work belongs to his relief period, developed from the late 1960s onward in cardboard and wood, and to the white and grey phase in which he pushed Belgian geometric abstraction toward a more reduced, almost architectural surface.

The raised lacquered structure catches light along its edges, shifting the white field into soft grey tones as the viewer moves. Signed and dated on the back. Strong example of post-war Belgian art in good condition.

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.
