Johan De Wilde. Hands of time

Luc Derycke • Boek • paperback

• Samenvatting
  Since the mid-nineties, Johan De Wilde (°1964, BE) has been
  making pencil drawings that can be considered as the work of
  a ‘human printer’, like man created computers in his mind.
  The artworks are meticulous built as paintings, layer after layer
  of horizontal and vertical lines, with a suggestion of shapes or
  numbers interwoven. De Wilde draws the canvas he paints on
  and mostly uses the same formats: A6, A4, A2, because he wants
  the drawings to be as universal as possible and these are the most
  commonly used paper sizes in everyday life. In the periphery of
  this, he also creates prints, photo series, graphic art, collages
  and texts. His labour-intensive style is the antithesis to the fast
  pace of life and the transience of our overly saturated digital
  visual culture. The artist basically draws time, on a 1/1 scale, as
  his own and everyone’s time goes by, an ironic remark on Ars
  longa, vita brevis. This book depicts the mentioned drawing series
  Pars Pro Toto, Requiem – The Long Goodbye (2017-2018), a series
  remembering art historian Tanguy Eeckhout and published in
  2019 in the book of the same name and the continuing series
  Indoor Impressionismus. Also included is a never before published
  poem by Gust Gils and a collaboration with musician Heleen Van
  Haegenborgh on the subject of the infinitely continuable series
  Pi – Fugue pour les survivants (2007-work in progress), part of the
  collection of S.M.A.K., that began with the irrational number
  pi and continues in a long series of numbers after the comma.
