Du Bist Mir Fremd und Doch so Nah is a german phrase that translates to You are strange to me and yet so close in english. This phrase reflects a sense of paradox or contradiction, suggesting that someone or something is both unfamiliar and intimately connected at the same time.
In his series Legends, Bosmans explores the concept of artistic freedom within a society overwhelmed by information. The title "Legends" is particularly striking as it alludes to stories that blend myth, fairy tale, and historical fact. Despite being rendered with acrylic on panel, Bosmans' Legends transcend mere paintings; they serve as conduits for communication.

Each Legend contains layers of meaning, echoing the diverse interpretations of the term 'legend'—an explanation of symbols. Bosmans employs his unique 'logos', intertwining various anecdotes into a single visual narrative. While the simplified images may seem straightforward, they harbor deeper, hidden meanings. As viewers, we sense that there is a profound significance waiting to be uncovered, yet we lack the key to fully decipher the complexities within Bosmans' work.
