"Visions and Voices with images by Bert Menco" Menco's images for Lindemann's poetry are as compelling as they are enigmantic. Here are figures and couples playing on a stage set before us - full of strangeness, melancholy, humor, and especially wonder. They are often like the images on tarot cards fortelling the endlessly repeated tragic/comic patterns of human behavior that men and women are destined to play. His myriad faces, staring at us with heavy lidded eyes both keep their secrets while silently begging a question of us - is it we who are the riddle of the sphynx? Here is an artist who expresses the consciousness (and conscience) of his Dutch/European history through Eastern European Surrealism. He is a deep and rare artist whose fantastic and puzzling work probes well beneath the surface of life.

"Look, Listen and Look Anew" Menco's 'Visions' beg for interpretations. Presented here with Lindemann's 'Voices', it opens a line for the viewer to discuss, argue, empathize, and return again and again to contemplate what the images are conveying.
