Willy DE SMEDT

Willy De Smedt has been attending the Créahmbxl art workshop since 1998. The first gesture: drawing a rectangle. Willy De Smedt’s abstract painting is elaborated layer after layer. During the process, the aligned rectangles, drawn with acrylic, take on color. Then, others come to superimpose them in shift. The material accumulates. The new shades - perhaps pastel - blend with the previous ones. The rhythm of Willy De Smedt’s paintings, their vibration, is born from these overlaps. When the work is finished, it has acquired its singular depth. The eye crosses these doubled porticoes and immerses itself in the color. (Text: Créahmbxl, Anita Van Belle)
