In 1962, he co-founded the alternative and neo-experimental literary magazine \u003cem\u003eLabris\u003c/em\u003e (1962-1973), which contained jazz-inspired poetry, and which was best known for its hermetic interpretation of poetry. The most enigmatic are the almost unreadable visual poems by Van Essche, which often take the form of line-and-point drawings, and abstract-geometric and psychedelic compositions. He later developed a more \u0026#39;informal\u0026#39; plastic oeuvre. The plastic-poetic practice of Van Essche draws on various esoteric and occult traditions; as such, it is hard to fathom and remains shrouded in mystery.

Het meest raadselachtige zijn de haast onleesbare beeldgedichten van Van Essche, die vaak de vorm aannemen van lijn- en punttekeningen, abstract-geometrische en psychedelische composities. Later bouwde hij een plastisch oeuvre uit, meer geschoeid op \u0026lsquo;informele\u0026rsquo; leest. De plastisch-po\u0026euml;tische praktijk van Van Essche leunt aan bij diverse esoterische en occulte tradities, en geeft zich moeilijk prijs waardoor zij gehuld blijft in mysterie.
