Davey Waxx Verhaeghe

“Dreamer”

Ask him who he is and what he does…

A boundary pusher or a draftsman, sketcher or painter, … ? 

He prefers to call himself a designer rather than an artist.

Davey looks and analyzes his experiences and encounters from different angles. One moment he will be painting, the next he will strip old cupboards, drop by for a chat or sit silently in the corner. A true dreamer, dreaming of having people close to him. 

Davey wants to have the opportunity to confront people with their emotions and thoughts, in an environment where diversity stands central. The key is communication and interaction, development and coherence. It’s what makes us stronger and stimulates the mind in our daily life. Man needs communication in everything, otherwise a real experience will remain impossible. That’s why meeting Davey will make the work more personal and stronger.

Davey’s work tells a story of abstract alienation at which you ask yourself how to deal with this confrontation. Do you see it as an experience or as an embrace? In his own words it’s rather a non-figurative art with little philosophy but contains a whole lot of emotion. This is mainly reflected in his geometric abstract work with characteristic horizontal lines, rectangles and triangles. Once the idea is in his head, the process of preparing already started for weeks. So when the idea comes out it will be nearly finished.

Abstractness is a feeling to him, a concept that has to be framed and where you have to distant yourself from reality. It can reveal fundamental values about reality. 

The excess of stimuli from the outside world presents obstacles. But Davey's work captures these impulses and offers us a new perspective.
