Garden art in its most beautiful splendour

Description

Landscape architecture is a form of high art for Erik Dhont, who has brought both nuance and sensitivity to various sites. Playing with flowers, grasses, shrubs, or trees, he creates unique spaces, structures, and textures.

His timeless green paradises, which are the result of true craftsmanship, are deeply rooted in the European garden tradition. They stand for longevity, evolution, dreams, and life.

In this second monograph, Dhont presents his creations from over the last twenty years, combining photographs with abstract drawings, colourful planting plans, and sculptural models that reflect on his artistic approach.

Intimate views of seminal creations such as the garden of fashion designer Dries van Noten immerse one into Dhont's creative and sensual universe.
