This publication documents the exhibition by renowned Belgian artist Laurent Reypens, which centers on his focus on cups and bowls, opening a visual dialogue between object and space, light and color. Reypens uses these seemingly simple forms as vehicles of stillness, rhythm, and intensity. The publication offers an introduction to Reypens? artistic practice through extensively illustrated pages and reflections on how the repetition of these still-life motifs forms a universal visual language that combines both abstract composition and intuitive experience. All of this is embedded within the context of his presentation at the Kunstverein Krefeld, an institution that promotes and exhibits contemporary art, allowing the reader not only to see the works but also to understand the artistic intentions and aesthetic approaches Reypens has developed throughout his career. This catalog presents Reypens' artistic series of objects such as bags and bowls in a contemplative and visually rich way, highlighting the repetition, position, and arrangement of these forms within a series of paintings and sculptures that are characteristic of his oeuvre. The texts explore how Reypens, with simplicity and stillness, challenges the perception of light, color, and space, and how these seemingly mundane forms transform into vehicles of rhythm and abstraction. The catalog also reflects on the cultural and museum context of the exhibition at the Kunstverein Krefeld and the relevance of his work within contemporary visual art. Reypens has exhibited internationally, and this publication serves as a compact yet in-depth guide for enthusiasts, collectors, and academics who wish to follow the development of Reypens' visual language.
