What forms can unlimited proliferation take? During the fifth Grafixx artist residency at Destelheide, Charlot Vael, Hanna van Dun, Tijs Van Nieuwenhuysen and Thomas Janssens will each explore their own translation of 'WILDGROEI', and ways in which their work can overlap.
Grafixx is more than a festival around graphic arts. Our half-yearly in-depth evening Grafixx EXTD. brings together various speakers from the field around certain aspects of illustration, comics, visual arts, literature and design.
For Grafixx House Call, artist-teacher-curator Ephameron travels the world to visit some of her favourite creative friends. Nicolas Burrows’ artistic practice consistently grows in contrasting and compelling directions: both abstract and figurative, both autonomous and commercial, both digital and manual — yet his spontaneous collage-based works are unified by his signature colourful geometric designs.
Chiara Lammens reports from the Ardennes, where nothing is what it seems. Through subtle details in her illustrations, she shows the collective human urge to be one with nature, to find solitude, peace and quiet. She keeps wandering, discovering new experiences around every bend.
With this black comedy, Younsik Woo traces the roots of a certain conflict in Korea following the release of radioactive wastewater from Fukushima. Linking the various causes with the phrase “because of”, at the same time she illustrates how irrational beliefs can exacerbate friction.
