Walter Swennen
Brussels-based artist Walter Swennen (1946 - 2025) is active as poet and painter, and the dynamic between word and image is often featured prominently in his work. Swennen paints or draws with playful irony and a special talent for visual associations. Swennen calls himself a constrained artist, but he claims to actually use these constraints to paint. Central to Swennen's work is for the viewer to leave behind reason and give leeway to imagination.
