Matter meets Spirit
PRESS RELEASE- INVITATION
Agnès Bompy: Dual Exhibition in the Netherlands Explores the Boundary Between Matter and Spirit
Amsterdam / Rotterdam, aug 2025
This autumn, French-Dutch artist Agnès Bompy (1961) presents a dual exhibition in the Netherlands. With paintings that balance between chance and intention, she invites the viewer to explore the boundary between matter and spirit.
A total of eight series, created between 1992 and 2025, will be on display, addressing themes such as identity, time, loss, and spirituality. Bompy works in cycles and series, where layered textures and subtle symbolism challenge the viewer to feel rather than understand.
“My work emerges at the intersection of the tangible and the invisible,” says Agnès Bompy. “Each canvas is a dialogue between what I let go of and what reveals itself.”
