Fictional Reality In The Garden Of Delights & Garden Of Delights (re)united
Two related printmaking works developed within the 2015 Bosch Grafisch Souvenir project (Grafisch Atelier Den Bosch, 2015)
One Toyobo print and one screenprint, each engaging with ‘The Garden of Earthly Delights’ by Hieronymus Bosch.One is a tetralogy of four Toyobo prints; the other is a series of screenprints, also available as a mini‑installation — each engaging with ‘The Garden of Earthly Delights’ by Hieronymus Bosch.
Fictional Reality In The Garden Of Delights
The landscapes in this tetralogy are based on photographs of the dune landscapes of Terschelling, made by the artist on location and subsequently reconfigured into a Bosch‑like composition. The images were produced as fine art Toyobo prints and handprinted by the artist on sturdy, acid‑free paper.

The Garden of Delights – (re)united
The work is a mini‑installation consisting of a lens covering a small screenprint.
It is an effort to reunite the front of Jeroen Bosch’s triptych The Garden of Earthly Delights, including its cover front, which is divided into two by its frame. In this version, the landscape appears to grow back together again.
The impossibility of grasping the entire scene at once is retained in a new way. One has to look closely to see what unfolds within this world, as the surrounding mirrors in the glass lens fragment and redirect the view.
It can also be presented as a folding card with passe‑partout.
