"For this show I selected a number of paintings from the so-called “Religious- works” series.
After a three months trip through Vietnam and Thailand I became fascinated by the richness of religious expressions. This resulted in a large series of paintings, drawings and watercolors. Long before this trip I had made a painting of Shiva on the cross. The result was a humorous and light work in which suffering has a different meaning. In the new paintings he mixed the Christian, Buddhist, Muslim and Hindu images into a new eclectic image. The later series were done on lose cloths supported by poles like the Buddhist scrolls. Here the fabric is an intricate part of the painting." Rob van der Schoor, 2007
