Willem Cole (1957)
Willem COLE (Ghent 1957)
The human figure is the main subject of Willem Cole's oeuvre.
Starting from a mixture of science and painting, Cole makes portraits of friends and relatives. He makes portraits by displaying the specific weight of the person portrayed in a volume, or has the person portrayed choose 2 colors from a whole color gamut. These shades show who they are (at that moment). Strange compositions arise in the group portraits as a result of human arbitrariness. The portraits are printed on glossy photo paper, so that the viewer experiences his or her mirror image as a second layer.
The works are not mere painting, but neither can they be defined as sculpture, installation. He mixes genres and media with the aim of being as pure and pure as possible.
Willem Cole studied painting at the Sint Lucas Hogeschool in Ghent, where he was taught by Dan van Severen. Later he became his assistant and afterwards teacher of Painting. In 2002 the SMAK organized a retrospective of his work.
