Verschueren (Bob)

Bob Verschueren was born 23 October 1945 in Etterbeek, Belgium. He lives and works in Brussels. In 1978, Bob Verschueren left his studio and went outside to work with nature and the wind. Bob Verschueren created Wind Paintings, using natural pigments spread by the wind. Wind Painting was going to be a milestone in his career and the beginning of his interest in natural elements, in particular, plants. Since then, Bob Verschueren has created around 280 installations in Europe, Asia, and America. In 1995, Bob Verschueren began his sonic works, such as Catalogue de plantes and 1999 is the beginning of his engraving, phytogravures. Photography and frottage are also techniques Bob Verschueren likes to explore. Some of the sound installations are accompanied by the poetry of Dominique Sintobin. She is collaborating with Bob Verschueren since 2005. As a result, they have edited artists’ books together. Although protean, Bob Verschueren’s work is always perfectly coherent. In fact, the artistic career of Bob Verschueren progresses as branches on a tree; each new work is as an announcement of the next and is an echo of his previous.
