Bernard Villers - 1977
Bernard Villers (b. 1939) is a major figure of Belgian abstraction still working today.
His practice questions the relationship between surface, light and colour, creating never-ending combinations and unexpected effects through the interaction between those essential elements.
His gestures, brought by a decades-long process of experimentation in the studio, are simple and clearly visible, everything is shown with complete openness.
Represented by Irene Laub Gallery, his artworks are in collections including Bibliothèque Nationale de France, Fondation Gordon Matta-Clark, Musée d'Ixelles and Fundaçao de Serralves.
