About Renaat Ramon
Renaat Ramon (1936-present) is a visual artist, poet and essayist who holds a lasting place within geometric abstraction and constructivism in Belgium. His work, especially from the 1960s and 1970s, is now being rediscovered by a new generation of art enthusiasts. He continues to work daily in his studio, next to his modernist house in Bruges, designed by architect Arthur De Geyter, a setting that continues to nurture his creativity. He is regarded as an important figure within these movements. His sculptures, often executed in bronze, marble or stone, reveal an architectural and mathematical approach in which precision and purity of form are central. Alongside his sculptural practice, he is internationally respected as a poet and essayist.
He creates visual poems that bridge his literary work and his visual art. These pieces are not meant to be read aloud but to be experienced visually. Ramon describes his visual poetry as rooted in the unity of word and image, making use of letters, text, signs, numbers, mathematical formulas and visual parallels between Roman numerals and letters. Discipline, scepticism and a subtle sense of irony recur throughout both his written and visual work. His oeuvre from the 1960s and 1970s is receiving renewed attention today, and his sculptures are presented by several galleries, underscoring the timeless clarity and intellectual strength of his work.
