An exhibition catalogue of new works by Belgian-born artist Raphaëlle Goethals.
The Memory of Persistence reflects years of developing and perfecting Raphaëlle’s unique vision and history—a history that began for her as a bold, expressionist painter. It took decades for Goethals to distill and to circle back to embrace her beginnings as a painter of movement, space, and energy. This series presents a highly mature, more sensitive, and meaningful manifestation. It captures the essence of swirling cosmic dust clouds in a feathery application layered over the previously tranquil, meditative surfaces. The result is a monumental advancement in composition, a richness of emotion, technique, and movement, where the viewer can effortlessly escape further into the depths of mystery and meaning in her works.
