Het komt allemaal goed

Exhibition: 1 May - 30 September 2025

ā€œHet komt allemaal goedā€ (Everything will be fine) is a surprising collaboration between writer-singer Rick de Leeuw and art historian Katharina Van Cauteren, head of The Phoebus Foundation. United by a shared fascination for art and storytelling, they set out not just to look at paintings—but to listen to them. Rick de Leeuw selected twelve works from The Phoebus Foundation’s collection that touched him personally, translating their visual power into music and poetry. The result is not a traditional art commentary, but a distinctive artistic dialogue in sound and word.

In this unique cross-pollination of music and painting, two worlds come together. The emotional strength of visual art is amplified through language and melody, allowing each painting not only to speak—but to sing. Katharina Van Cauteren provides historical and artistic context, while Rick de Leeuw transforms the artworks into songs full of hope, doubt, longing, and comfort. Together, they invite the audience into a new kind of experience—one that encourages not only looking but also feeling and listening.

Hendrick De Clerck (1570-1630), Pentecost, ca.1600, The Phoebus Foundation
