Crucifictions, no more by Thierry De Cordier is a limited edition etching from 2005, characterized by a somber and introspective aesthetic. This artwork, with a compact plate size of 13x9 cm, presents a dark, abstract form reminiscent of a cross or inverted figure, shrouded in shadowy textures. De Cordier's use of dense, dark tones and minimalistic composition creates a powerful sense of gravity, evoking themes of spirituality, despair, and transcendence. The title suggests a rejection or transcendence of suffering, possibly commenting on the artist’s views on sacrifice and human suffering. Limited to an edition of 60, this etching captures the essence of De Cordier's reflective and often existential style.

I paint real landscapes as well as imaginary ones. Though it’s still my intention to end up in pure abstraction.
- Thierry De Cordier

Thierry De Cordier (b. 1954 Belgium) is a Belgian contemporary artist and philosopher known for his deeply introspective and melancholic works that span painting, sculpture, drawing, and writing. De Cordier's art often explores themes of existence, solitude, and the sublime, reflecting his philosophical inquiries into the human condition and the natural world. His paintings are characterized by dark, muted tones and vast, brooding landscapes that evoke a sense of isolation and introspection. De Cordier's work is deeply rooted in a personal, almost monastic approach to art-making, where the process itself becomes a form of meditation. His exploration of the tension between nature and culture, as well as his profound engagement with existential themes, has made him a significant figure in contemporary European art.
