Werner Cuvelier (°1939) is a pioneer of Concept Art in Belgium. Since the 1960s he has been working on a rich oeuvre, which often starts from the – apparently objective – ordering, cataloging and inventory of all kinds of facts and data.
Although his work looks homogeneous in form, two major tendencies can be distinguished within his oeuvre. On the one hand, Cuvelier makes 'diagram work' based on statistics and data that he collects, from his urge to organize and fed by his passion for history and science. On the other hand, the artist creates – also geometrically – work that results from the formal processing of his lifelong research into the Golden Ratio. Paintings, sculptures, but also sketchbooks and notes are created from these two completely different perspectives, which portray his endless search for laws.
