Through a donation, the series <I>Splendor-Spring, Summer, Winter</I>, 2013 was included in the collection of the Kunstmuseum in June 2021. An important series of works investigating whether images can be a result of action rather than of solidifying a shape.
The origins of this series are the <I>Samurai</I> that Heringa/Van Kalsbeek made in 2004 as Artists in Residence in Paris, one of them being this example. A charcoal drawing of a Japanese temple statue in Musée Guimet was embedded in what is perhaps best described as a three-dimensional painting. Lines and surfaces of steel, wood, rope and parts of plants absorb the core, which merges into a dynamic and sensuous excess of color and form.
