BRUSSELS.- Rodolphe Janssen is presenting a retrospective exhibition of L閛n Wuidar (born in Li鑗e in August 1938) on the occasion of his 80th birthday. This is the gallery's third project with the artist after an exhibition in its space at 32 rue de Livourne during the winter of 2016 and a solo at Art Brussels in April 2017. This exhibition also comes after the retrospective organized in London at the White Cube gallery in April and June of this year.
Regularly exhibited for 60 years in Belgium and Europe, and present in many public collections in Belgium, L閛n Wuidar is one of the few Belgian artists who has, throughout his life, persevered in the path of constructive or concrete abstraction.
Wuidar’s work is based on precision, discipline and humor; mixing shapes and colors to create harmonious, precise and meticulously balanced compositions. His paintings juxtapose squares, rectangles, polygons, and curves often surrounded by a double border of color and always finished by a simple wooden frame.
L閛n Wuidar (born in 1938 in Li鑗e) lives and works in Esneux, Belgium.
Recent solo exhibitions include White Cube, London (2018); Bibliotheca Wittockiana, Brussels, Belgium (2010); L’Espace du Dedans, Lille, France (2009) and Gesellschaft f黵 Kunst und Gestaltung, Bonn, Germany (2007). His work was also included in numerous group exhibitions including ‘L’abstraction g閛m閠rique belge’, Mouans-Sartoux, France (2015); ‘Abstractions g閛m閠riques belges’, BAM, Mons, Belgium (2014); ‘Un si鑓le d’art abstrait’, Mus閑 Ren Magritte, Brussels, Belgium (2010).
His work is featured in numerous international public collections including Mus閑 des Beaux-Arts, Brussels; Biblioth鑡ue Albertine, Brussels, Belgium; Fernmeldetechnisches Zentralamt, Darmstadt, Germany; Dorstener Maschinenfabrik, Dorsten, Germany; and Fondation IDAC, Mondriaanhuis, Amersfoort, The Netherlands; Mus閑 d’Art Wallon, Li鑗e, Belgium; Cabinet des Estampes, Li鑗e; Mus閑 en plein air du Sart Tilman, Li鑗e, Belgium; Centre de la Gravure et de l’image imprim閑, La Louvi鑢e, Belgium; Fondation Meeus, Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium; Mus閑 de Mariemont, Morlanwelz, Belgium; Mus閑 des Beaux-Arts, Verviers, Belgium.
