Visual artist, Hasselt, Belgium,1966

Born on Oct 6th, 1966 in Hasselt, Belgium, Stefaan Vermeulen grew up in Genk, a provincial mining town and melting pot of more than 60 nationalities. His master studies in art from Hugo Duchateau and Ado Hamelrijck influenced him to develop a preference for natural materials, human scale installations and a deep interest in contemporary pur-sang painting. Although one might find a layer of humour in some of his works, his drawings and paintings often show a sour and slightly melancholic view on the reality that surrounds him.
