Johan De Wilde

Belgian artist (°1964), mainly makes drawings. His chief premises are: the absence of any hierarchy between images and of fundamental distinction between abstraction and figuration, the spectator´s imagination as the container of the invisibly present 'actual' images, the 'noise' as an obstacle between the perception and the imagination. Studied Graphic Art at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Ghent, Belgium. After a long and influential stay in Scandinavia, he returned to Ghent where he now lives and works.
