Galerie ELHABIBI is pleased to present Beyond the Veil: Narrative Portraits, an exclusive solo exhibition by Rick Beerhorst, an American artist renowned for his timeless works that intertwine symbolism, spirituality, and mystery.
Through textured and luminous painting, Beerhorst explores the boundary between the visible and the invisible. His portraits, primarily depicting women, capture a moment suspended between introspection and mysticism. Recurring elements—books, birds, everyday objects—act as narrative clues, suggesting hidden stories and a knowledge beyond the tangible.
Drawing inspiration from folklore traditions, Jungian psychology, and Renaissance icons, Beerhorst creates a universe that is both dreamlike and grounded in material reality. His figures, though realistic, seem to exist in a space beyond time, evoking artistic references ranging from Balthus to René Magritte.
His work, exhibited in institutions and galleries worldwide, reflects a quest for balance between faith, desire, and humanity. Each painting serves as an open doorway to contemplation and the unconscious—an invitation to unveil the mysteries beyond the veil.
We would be delighted to welcome you to experience this captivating universe.
