Painter Etienne Geeurickx returns to his roots at Villa Servais

Free admission
To mark his eightieth birthday in October, painter Etienne Geeurickx is organizing an exhibition at Villa Servais. For the artist, this exhibition means more than an artistic milestone: it marks a special return to the “castle” where he spent several formative years as a child.
Even at a young age, he became fascinated by the work of sculptor Cyprien Godebski, son-in-law of François Servais. The refined medallions and bas-reliefs on the facade, later supplemented by the marble busts, made a lasting impression on the young artist. He still considers the statue of François Servais in the Grand Place of Halle to be the impressive highlight of Godebski’s oeuvre. Exhibition
Opening reception on Friday, October 16 at 7 pm – free, with registration

As a classically trained portraitist, Etienne Geeurickx believes that Cyprien Godebski also deserves a
visible place within the walls of Villa Servais. Based on this conviction,
he is donating a portrait of the artist created by him to the Villa.
In addition to this special tribute, the exhibition also presents a selection of
Geeurickx’s later work: lyrical-abstract impressions of nature in which memory,
the experience of nature, and imagination come together.
