Strips of paper used like paint, as thick accretions, thin layers, or sliced, impregnated, cut and pasted: these are the raw materials of Belgian artist Guy Leclef’s artworks. His work represents the perpetual quest for the essence of things. Varied and exhilarating art, moulded from a mountain of waste paper. Using paper like paint, Guy Leclef displays a playful virtuosity, and never descends into showmanship or ennui. Call it poetic recycling.
