Tom Van Puyvelde
Tom Van Puyvelde is a Belgian artist and designer born in 1985 in Temse, Belgium. After completing his degree in Architecture at Sint-Lucas Ghent in 2008, he pursued a Master's in Visual Arts at the School of Arts Ghent, graduating in 2014 under the tutelage of Jan Debbaut and Vincent Geyskens. His work, deeply influenced by his architectural background, challenges traditional classifications in art, focusing instead on the transformative potential of source material. Having lived and worked in Brussels, Lisbon, and Berlin, Van Puyvelde returned to Belgium where he continues to exhibit his work both nationally and internationally. His exhibitions, including the notable "Evanescence" at Buysse Gallery in Knokke, reflect his ongoing exploration of the ephemeral and the permanent within the visual arts.

TOM VAN PUYVELD: EREVISITATION
11 MAY 2024 - 31 JANUARY 2025
The homecoming exhibition, titled 'Revisitation', reflects on the event of returning home. It also represents a profound review of the past ten years, defining his voice in the painting world. Importantly, 'Revisitation' encapsulates Van Puyvelde's artistic practice: he revisits the same source image to explore endless painterly possibilities, imparting a unique character to each piece as a testament to time, movement, and light. Wilford-X is a dynamic platform that fosters a convergence of artists and audiences, redefining creativity and dialogue in contemporary culture. At Wilford-X, artists are empowered to freely express their visions, stepping confidently into the spotlight of their venue. The platform aims to bridge traditional gaps between creators and the public, facilitating meaningful discussions about the role of art in society.
