'Un-having to' is central to Willem Vermeersch's art practice. By scribbling and babbling with paint, pencil, video collages, objects, questions, textiles or a crushing machine... Willem tinkers like an iconoclast with our ingrained tendency to reduce something or someone to the image we make of it.
Nothing or no one ever really coincides with a picture, including you. These works are instinctive, physical reactions to the violence of overstimulation, digital absorption and ideal images. Willem also enjoys looking for overlap and f(r)iction between things, people and contexts that do not fit into the same picture but are still part of this world.
Willem Vermeersch walked from Ypres to Istanbul and sometimes rubbed (clean) toilet paper in wet paint, in order to produce something that was different from what his imagination could have foreseen. Maybe the update will be ready by the time you read this and my C.V. in order by then: www.willemvermeersch.eu
