August De Puysseleir
1958－, Geel, Belgium

August De Puysseleir creates gesso prints in which he combines both selfmade photographs and found imagery, resulting in multiple layers of meaning between the images. A theme that often reappaers in the works of De Puysseleir are birds. They refer to his mother who passed away. On her ‘funeral card’ there was a quote about birds. Ever since, the birds remind De Puysseleir of his mother and he sees them as a sign. De Puysseleir is autodidact. He combines his acquired skills, like his meticulous way of working or his eye for detail, to make his art.
