The works complement each other perfectly in contrast, in the gallery in a direct spatial combination: Jan De Weryha always works the wood in a very archaic way. Rhythm and structure are emphasized in sometimes impressive “monotony”.

The simple elements of my own collages, on the other hand, illuminate every last bit that I can get out of the most banal found object. Jan De Weryha concentrates more on the question of how much change he wants to impose on his material in order to do justice to wood as a material.

This meeting was an open dialog. Thanks also to the Friends of Jan De Weryha for making this exhibition possible.
