Holden Willard meets Gerolf Van de Perre in the Mirror

Holden Willard, an American artist exhibited through Belgium’s Edjigallery with the perfect size canvas imho and 8 years of meditative portraiture on his father’s features.

The blue square (top, nearly centred left) containing a doubling reflection of the self-portrait internalised therein.

This blue square reminds me of the blue tunnel of mirror and memory in another Proustian painting, one from his father’s generation, a similar size canvas by Belgian artist Gerolf Van de Perre.

Art history reflects in and on itself. Fathers itself, if you will.
