“\u00abMont Ventoux\u00bb by Herman Janssens is a work that transforms the landscape into a pure sensory experience. The iconic summit becomes the pretext for a gestural exploration where color\u2014mustard yellows, intense purples, deep turquoises\u2014is dynamically layered, evoking wind, light, and vertigo. The mixed media technique amplifies the pictorial material, making the canvas vibrate between lyrical abstraction and geological suggestion. At the center, a sharp, white form perhaps evokes the observatory, a symbol of solitude and the tension of ascent. The work abandons representation to convey the emotion of the climb, the sublime in its most informal and internal form.”<\/p>\n
