Rond 1971 ontwikkelde hij hieruit \u0026lsquo;statement art\u0026rsquo;, waarin hij door middel van letters, woorden en vaak ironische zinnen aan maatschappijkritiek deed.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eIn dit werk staan onderaan op de voorgrond twee woorden \u0026lsquo;Vlaamsch Landschap\u0026rsquo;, geschreven volgens de oude spelling en in grote grijze letters van verschillend formaat. De letters zijn zo geplaatst dat ze over de zwarte strook heen kronkelen. Op deze manier lijken ze de glooiing van een landschap te suggereren. De woorden op de zwarte achtergrond staan schril contrast met het witte en grootste bovengedeelte van het schilderij.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eIn zijn oeuvre speelt Vercammen vaker met contrasten en dualiteiten tussen bijvoorbeeld kleuren maar ook tussen vorm en inhoud. Hij voert een onderzoek naar de ons omringende werkelijkheid en naar hoe we deze waarnemen en ervaren. Hij probeert zo te komen tot een bewustwording van tijd en ruimte. Door een grootse eenvoud roept het werk veel vragen op. Wat is de context? Wat bedoelt hij met de woorden Vlaamsch lanschap? Welk landschap bedoelt hij? Het maatschappelijke, het politieke of het geografische landschap? Of is het allemaal eerder ironisch bedoeld?\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\r\n"},{"locale":"fr","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"ru","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"de","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"es","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"el","short_description":"","description":""}],"actors":[{"id":648,"name":"Wout Vercammen","category":{"en":"Creator","nl":"Vervaardiger","fr":"Créateur"}}]}
