Provenance

Residu (Transience) X (2025), by Tom Van Puyvelde, extends his contemplative inquiry into the aesthetics of residue and transformation. This slender vertical canvas is segmented into harmoniously aligned color blocks, each rendered in understated hues of blues and greens derived from leftover paints. These segments not only resonate with the elemental forces of nature but also subtly engage with the overarching theme of transience, where each color transition signifies a moment of artistic and temporal passage. This work invites viewers to a reflective engagement, where the simplicity of the form belies the depth of its conceptual exploration.
