About event

Tom Liekens's paintings and monumental woodcuts explore the biblical and literary figure of Salomé, opening a broader universe of figures balanced between attraction and destruction. About Tom Liekens staat bekend om zijn schilderijen en monumentale houtsneden, waarin kunstgeschiedenis, natuur, mythologie en persoonlijke verbeelding samenvloeien. In deze tentoonstelling staat Salomé centraal. In het bijbelverhaal vraagt zij, als beloning voor haar dans voor haar stiefvader, koning Herodes, het hoofd van Johannes de Doper. Vooral Oscar Wildes toneelstuk Salomé maakte van haar een moderne femme fatale: een vrouw bij wie verlangen omslaat in obsessie. Wanneer Johannes haar afwijst, wil zij hem alsnog bezitten — desnoods via zijn afgehakte hoofd. Vanuit Salomé opent Tom Liekens een breder universum van figuren die balanceren tussen aantrekking en vernietiging. In deze wereld is schoonheid nooit onschuldig, macht nooit eenduidig en kwetsbaarheid nooit zwak. Tom Liekens is known for his paintings and monumental woodcuts, in which art history, nature, mythology and personal imagination merge. This exhibition revolves around Salomé. In the biblical story, she asks for the head of John the Baptist as a reward for her dance before her stepfather, King Herod. It was Oscar Wilde's play Salomé in particular that transformed her into a modern femme fatale: a woman whose desire turns into obsession. When John rejects her, she still wants to possess him — if need be, through his severed head. Taking Salomé as his starting point, Tom Liekens opens up a broader universe of figures who teeter between attraction and destruction. In this world, beauty is never innocent, power is never unambiguous, and vulnerability is never weakness. Read more Toggle Painting Prints
