Godin wit, godin zwart #[nn]

From Belgian master Jean-Claude Servais comes this striking 2018 album, its cover presenting a central goddess-like figure draped in flowing robes of black and white, arms outstretched beneath a gnarled ancient tree. Around her gather two distinct groups — ethereal, flower-crowned maidens in pale garments on one side, and wilder, earth-toned figures on the other — embodying the dual nature the title, Godin wit, godin zwart ("Goddess white, goddess black"), so beautifully promises. Servais's signature lush, painterly linework and Raives's luminous coloring make this a deeply atmospheric entry in the Vrije Vlucht collection.
