De Sauter Willy

• 1938

Willy De Sauter always tries to rid the exhibition of visual noise or pollution that distracts attention. In this way, an exhibition by Willy De Sauter becomes a serene space that can even have meditative quality for some spectators. The visual calm that he continually recreates in his work challenges the viewer to take time and to concentrate and experience the richness of subtle visual stimuli. As an artist, Willy De Sauter is not interested in the spectacular gesture, but wishes to redefine the foundations experiencing art in a radical way through his work.
