39. 39AR ISABELLE DE BORCHGRAVE(1946-2024) Japanese Garden Signature stamp Paper screen with wooden frame Acrylic and gouache 173 x 360 cm Inspired by the beauty of nature throughout her life, this garden with its Japanese motif is an ode to a philosophy of life centred on the connection with nature and the search for inner peace. The influence of Japonism in Isabelle de Borchgrave's universe arrived in 2002 after a tour of 6 exhibitions in Japan. This folding screen is painted on an old folding screen that the artist took pleasure in hunting down. Exhibition Isabelle de Borchgrave Studio, Brussels, Belgium - Lumière et Couleurs, 2014
