In Lobert’s hometown of Belgium, wintertime is synonymous with long gloomy days where the blue sky disappears into an endless stream of brown and grey. This unusual diptych cross hatched with a blustery forest green and sienna brown “x” was painted during this cold and dreary period and gives the impression of the artist attempting to hold it all together in wait for brighter times. The abstract letter also resembles a sewing stitch or cords outstretched to maintain the works integrity and composure.
