Motivation plus commitment multiplied by guts divided by determination equals talent. Or maybe it’s just a matter of simply doing what feels right, the right way at exactly the right time. Whatever your personal angle on how to define this particular term might be, it definitely happens just once in a blue moon to discover a talent whose vision is so peculiar and overall distinctive at an early stage already, as the one Berlin-based artist
Vermibus is bringing to the table.
Since the first collaboration between Vermibus and OPEN WALLS Gallery in 2012, the enigmatic artist certainly has stepped up his game in terms of execution and presence, even though the instruments he’s using remain the very same: solvent, paper and a trusted skeleton key. Within the last four years Vermibus did more than 600 interventions in public spaces worldwide, in which he’s challenging the audience by raising questions about value, significance and the perception of beauty through his signature style - proving that the art of adbusting can easily still imply subversiveness transformed by an intact social conscious, instead of being a simple vanity show.
If there’s a name strongly connected to the attitude and aesthetics OPEN WALLS Gallery is known for, then it certainly must be the one of Vermibus, as the numerous successful collaborations on group shows and art fairs in the past competently proved. Therefore it is kind of surprising all the more that
Unveiling Beauty actually presents
the first official solo show of Vermibus at OPEN WALLS Gallery, which introduces more than 30 different works - ranging from exclusive pieces produced for this particular show to almost forgotten treasures from their archives - of this outstanding artist to the Berlin audience.
