In this 1992 painting, Rudi De Vos captures a nostalgic night view of his native town Boom. The former "Cremerie Kennes" stands illuminated under a starry sky, flanked by a turquoise vintage car and a bicycle. The drawn curtains and the solitary figure behind the window evoke a quiet, timeless mood.
De Vos was known for his photographic realism, choosing to paint on prepared panels to achieve a warm undertone. This signed and dated work (lower right) is presented in a distressed grey wooden frame that complements the nocturnal atmosphere.
