Made in Belgium :Andy Wauman

Sometimes you can feel you have wandered upon a person with a special energy, like I recently did.  Meet Antwerp artist and poetical terrorist ANDY WAUMAN.
This amazing artist tries to inject energy from the street (and boy, does he got energy ...) into his art by using texts and objects, say words combined with visual work. His focus on ethical principles and his personal opinion about the so-called culture and media are constantly present in his work. He often uses images that have been violated, multiplied and copied by commercial media ...
You will get drawn to his art because it's unusual, offbeat and with character ! 

Andy says : "What fascinates me is the creative versatility of chaos. Chaos is important to spread your imagination; chaos that drives you like a bus.’ Creativity needs chaos to prosper. Chaos as the roller coaster for new ideas. The world of information flows, of the internet, but also of mass- consumption goods, is very stimulating."

Currently exposing in the lovely MX7 Gallery ( Marnixplaats 7-Antwerp) in a duo exhibition " Shadow doesn't charge" Andy Wauman-Boy and Erik Stappaerts  . Go and discover art !
