Vit à Ghent, Belgium. Travaille dans Ghent, Belgium.
Représenté par:
Hilde Vandaele Gallery
Johan De Wit’s creations often refer to classics from art history from Antiquity to the present. His work evokes traditional themes such as landscapes, still lifes and genre pieces. In addition, they also play on the conventional philosophic and religious themes: the insignificance and fragility of human existence, the ephemeral, futile and ludicrous of power and flamboyance, the pleasure and fleetingness of earthly pleasures.
The artworks are made in paper, reinforced with resins and enriched with iron powders and pigments. The artist’s technical mastery is astounding, is subservient, but does not want to overwhelm us. Most of the works seem to refer to something in reality and at the same time they don’t, which confuses the viewer. There is melancholy and heaviness in the air, but also humor, comfort and care. De Wit leaves thinking open and exposes feeling. His work is gripping.
