Eric Verhal
Large Mid-Century Abstract Expressionist Oil on Canvas, Circle of Bernard Buffet

1965

About the Item

Large mid-century abstract expressionist oil on canvas of a still life of flowers by Belgian artist Eric Verhal. Signed and dated '65 to the bottom right and again to the reverse of the canvas. A colourful and energetic painting of a vase of flowers. Very much of its period. Angular lines reminiscent of the work of Bernard Buffet outline and crisscross luminescent fields of colour in orange, yellow, white and red. A real period piece, strong and full of energy. Eric Verhal ( born: 1938 ) : Masters of Art History and Archaelogy, State University, Ghent, Belgium. Masters of Fine Arts, Washington University, St. Louis, Missouri, U.S.A. In 1968, after a period of four years as a teacher at the Lycée des Garçons in Sfax, Tunisia, Verhal left for Spain and Portugal with a scholarship from the Belgian Gouverment. After this, he traveled to the U.S.A. where he taught painting and printmaking at the Washington University, St. Louis, U.S.A. In 1970 he obtained his Masters of Fine Arts degree at the same university. From 1973 up until 1999, Verhal taught history of art at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, Ghent, Belgium. In the summers of 1974 till 1981, Verhal taught diffirent courses at the Portland School of Art, Maine, U.S.A. and at the University of North-Carolina, Greensboro, North-Carolina, U.S.A. Verhal obtained scholarships for Rome, Italy, in 1961-1962, Lisbon in 1966-1967 and Germany in 1978. In September and October 1979, he worked in Boston, U.S.A., and obtained a scholarship for Japan, in 1983, where he had a show in the White Striped House Museum, Tokyo, Japan. In 1998 Verhal opened a studio in Brooklyn (N.Y. City, U.S.A.). Arsonists burned the studio down and Verhal’s studio moved to Coton-on-Hudson, N.Y., U.S.A., in the house of his oldest daughter. Verhal opened a new studio in France, Le Massif Central, Le Cantal, in 2002. Now Eric Verhal resides between Belgium and France. Collections in Belgium : Bank van Parijs en de Nederlanden, Brussels.
