Catalogue de l'exposition Marcel Lecomte. Les alcôves du surréalisme. Numéro 22 de la série des Cahiers des Musées royaux des Beaux-Arts de Belgique, ce livre dresse le portrait de cet acteur moins connu mais néanmoins important du surréalisme belge. Il reprend également la correspondance entre Magritte et Marcel Lecomte et l'ensemble des chroniques que ce dernier rédigea à propos du fameux peintre surréaliste belge.

Twelve monumental works by Thierry De Cordier

The series Iconotextures consists of twelve works: vast fields of 300 x 150 cm paper where blue ink assembles into a whirlwind. The artists presents a waterfall of text that links to absurdity definitions of God. Both definitions that claim and deny His existence. Oscillating between irony and the sacred, the words become the spiritual material (texture) of an image that, like an icon, materializes the invisible. Through this calligraphy of his own effusion, Thierry De Cordier reflects the absurdity that is the very idea of defining God. His Word turns to flesh. Blue as night, deep as doubt: the testimony of the inherent fragility of human consciousness.

This series is the result of five years (2011-2016) of labor. This large-format book presents the complete series together with a text by Michel Draguet shedding light on this work with enigmatic title. Limited edition of 500 copies.
