\nAutodidacte, Bob Verschueren<\/strong> a d\u00e9but\u00e9 son parcours par la peinture. Peu satisfait des limites que lui imposait la toile, il s’est tourn\u00e9 vers le paysage dans lequel il est intervenu directement avec des pigments naturels. Ainsi sont n\u00e9s en 1978 les \u00ab Wind paintings \u00bb. Ce tournant radical vers l’\u00e9ph\u00e9m\u00e8re lui a fait choisir les \u00e9l\u00e9ments de la nature comme moyens d’expression. En 1985 il a r\u00e9alis\u00e9 sa premi\u00e8re installation v\u00e9g\u00e9tale, proposant ainsi aux visiteurs une \u0153uvre ou le processus de d\u00e9gradation \u00e9tait en jeu. Depuis 1995, il d\u00e9veloppe, avec l’aide du Centre de recherches et de formations musicales de Wallonie, un travail sonore qu’il intitule \u00ab Catalogue des plantes \u00bb. Ses installations, plus souvent \u00e0 l’int\u00e9rieur de lieux d’exposition qu’\u00e0 l’ext\u00e9rieur, sont autant de r\u00e9flexions sur l’ind\u00e9fectible lien entre la vie et la mort.<\/p>\n

L\u2019installation proposerait aux gens un \u00ab chemin de renaissance \u00bb, un sentier qui serpente et part en creux pour remonter aussit\u00f4t. Il s\u2019agit de descendre pour perdre la vue du paysage, pour ensuite le revoir avec le regard d\u2019un enfant, au niveau du sol. Au fil de la remont\u00e9e, le point de vue revient progressivement \u00e0 la taille du promeneur.[youtube width=\u00a0\u00bb250″ height=\u00a0\u00bb187″]http:\/\/youtu.be\/skOPZ2NZizg[\/youtube]<\/p>\n

Le chemin en creux serait \u00e9vas\u00e9 et prendrait la forme stylis\u00e9e d\u2019une feuille. Ses c\u00f4t\u00e9s seraient form\u00e9s de pierres grises formant une sorte de mosa\u00efque. Dans le creux, de part et d\u2019autre du chemin, pousse du thym laineux, qui vient recouvrir les pierres d\u2019une surface duveteuse. Avec le temps, la v\u00e9g\u00e9tation recouvrira de plus en plus les flancs du chemin.<\/p>\n

Ce travail, pour \u00eatre conforme \u00e0 l\u2019esprit de ma d\u00e9marche, devrait \u00eatre r\u00e9alis\u00e9 \u00e0 partir de pierres du pays et non des pierres import\u00e9es.[\/wpcol_1half_end][:en][wpcol_1half id=\u00a0\u00bb\u00a0\u00bb class=\u00a0\u00bb\u00a0\u00bb style=\u00a0\u00bb\u00a0\u00bb]\"\"
\nA self-taught artist, Bob Verschueren<\/strong> began his career as a painter. Dissatisfied with the limits imposed by the canvas, he turned to landscape on which he intervened directly using natural pigments which brought about his 1978 series of Wind Paintings. This radical change of direction in favour of the ephemeral decided his pr\u00e9f\u00e9rence for use of the \u00e9l\u00e9ments of nature as a means of expression. He created his first vegetal art installation in 1985, providing the public with a work in which the d\u00e9gradation process was brought into play. Since 1995, with the assistance of the Centre de recherches et de formations musicales de Wallonie<\/em> he has developped sound Works called \u00abCatalogue des Plantes\u00bb. His installations, more often within exhibition spaces than outdoors are a reflection of the indissoluble connection between life and death.<\/p>\n

The public art piece suggests a \u00abpath of rebirth\u00bb, a pathway that twists, turns, dips downwards and promptly resurfaces. We descend into a space where we no longer are able to see the landscape, and emerge with a child\u2019s ability to delight at what he sees, and with a child\u2019s ground level view. Progressively, the point of vue becomes that of a fully grown individual as the participant recovers his own perspective and size through\u00a0 his gradual resurfacing.<\/p>\n

Over time, v\u00e9g\u00e9tation will grow over the sides of the path. [\/wpcol_1half_end][:]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
