PESSIMISTIC OPTIMIST by Frank Willems.

Year: 2022
Size: 74,5x75cm
Materials: (UV) Acrylic, marker on reused wood

TEXTWORKS is a series of artworks where language, material, and light come together. The works consist of carefully carved texts in wood, allowing the words to be not only read but also physically experienced. During the day, light and shadow interact with the reliefs in the wood, making the texts subtly visible. But only in the dark does the work reveal its full power: when illuminated with blacklight, the letters glow, and the text takes on a new, almost magical dimension.

“When coming across Frank‘s oeuvre it immediately spoke to me. I enjoy the juxtaposition of what at first glance could be mistaken for kids’ doodles, but actually carries a deeper quality that encourages continuous reflection of core concepts of life.”
