Wout Vercammen
"Wout Vercammen calls himself a modernist artist, one who has assimilated a great many influences. He applies (in some works) variations onto the basic template of the Belgian national flag and its three colors. Fresh color-ripples span like rainbows above grubby surfaces or above planes that are simply 'clean'. The irregular geometric patterns and the colored bands betray the influence of Frank Stella. Vercammen practices letter-painting and one notices the impact of texts in large letters and playful finds, for example 'Marcel meets Duchamp'."
