Biography
Born in Kortrijk, Belgium, 1973
Lives and works in Brussels, Belgium
Vermeersch’s work has evolved consistently through a strong and unbreakable single mindedness of artistic vision. Color and light, time and space and the intersection of these intangible elements are the notions that have been explored by the Belgian artist since the very beginning of his career in the late nineties. An artistic research that continues, flowing and expanding with the experimentation on new materials. His mural works continue to grow and develop engulfing and subverting space. Either being conceived for exhibition spaces or adapted to already existing architectural sites, large gradation wall paintings and installations play an essential role in Vermersch’s practice. His well-known ephemeral palette and his smooth combination of colors in a given space is the result of the artist’s reaction and perception of each space. The mural works and his works on canvas, always coexisting in his practice and not being possible one without the other, are complemented with his most recent works on stone.
