Artists

Bernard Villers, Tatiana Wolska

Press release

The two artists share the same economy of means, favouring simple gestures and found materials. Their respective practices are punctuated by patterns of fragmentation and reconstruction, and resonate with each other in a subtle dialogue. Polish artist Tatiana Wolska (1977) lives and works in Brussels. Her multidisciplinary practice is characterised by organic growth, the proliferation of forms and the hybridisation of objects. Using simple means and evocative gestures, Tatiana Wolska transforms plastic bottles, discarded metal and recycled wood into the foundations of mechanisms of propagation and amplification. Bernard Villers (1939) is a major figure of the Belgian art scene. In his works, Bernard Villers constantly combines surface, light and colour, playing with the infinite possibilities of pictorial practice and its effects on our perception. The Belgian painter seeks his inspiration in the banal, marginal and imperceptible aspects of everyday life to create minimal interventions often inspired by language, poetry or literature. This project is supported by the Polish Institute in Brussels on the occasion of the Polish presidency of the Council of the European Union.
