In our sheet, Bargheer captures his impressions of one of his numerous trips to North and Central Africa, which he undertook between 1960 and 1968, in his unmistakable mosaic-like, abstracting pictorial vocabulary and light brushstrokes. He translates the visual experience into a symbolic representation, concentrating on the essentials and making hidden motif structures visible. The result is a formal network of relationships that the artist himself describes as a "fabric".
