Location: Paris
Description:
Painted in Paris in 2022 and included in Beyond the Veil, Richard Beerhorst’s recent solo exhibition, Travel Instinctcaptures a moment of poised awareness. A woman in a crimson patterned robe sits with her black cat, both fixed in quiet vigilance. The composition reveals an archetypal symmetry that the artist later recognized as echoing the ancient Trinacria—the symbol of Sicily—suggesting a hidden geometry of intuition and destiny. Beerhorst describes this painting as one that “came through” him, an unplanned revelation received through openness rather than design.
