Didier Vermeiren

Born 1951 in Brussels (Belgium), he lives there.

Since the mid-'70s, Didier Vermeiren has been exploring in a quite literal way the bases of sculpture's relations to space and perception. His works are founded on a complex play in the relation between full and empty, positive and negative, mobile and immobile. The photographs that he takes of his own sculptures are the natural extension of this. By setting up comparisons between the image and the object, he encourages viewers to observe the paradoxically simultaneous presence and absence of the artwork.

In the main hall of les Abattoirs – Musée Frac Occitanie Toulouse, where he has been invited to present a special project, Didier Vermeiren designed a space dedicated to sculpture and photography.
