Trippy Vegas — About Trippy Vegas

Hello everyone,

I really wanted to use this website as a place where my braindump ends up and the visual elements (from final work or from from process stages) can be shared as kind of blog system like social media channels. The difference here is that I can go a little more personal and think more broadly about what a cyberspace might look like in conjunction with the idea of my growing digital city. I want to make this site as personal as possible so that there is really a deepdive possible into my work and into my construction through my work. The site serves as a process that can continuously grow with all kinds of material throughout my life. A kind of time capsule that is not tied to a rented channel like the meta company. This is the studio where I find myself on a daily basis. The studio is located on planet earth but mostly on my MacBook Pro 16-inch, 2019 running macOS Sonoma 14.1 right now and Intel Core i7.

My bio:

Victor Verhelst (°1997, BE) Lives and works in Belgium. Victor Verhelst is a Belgian visual artist who combines both commissioned and autonomous artistic projects. At the end of June 2020, he left the 'Les Monseigneurs' collective of which he was a co-founder to pursue his own course. Since then, Verhelst has worked on projects for PUBLIEK PARK by Young Friends v/h S.M.A.K.(Ghent), Record Label stroom.tv (Ostend), Kiosk Radio (Brussels), Permekemuseum (Jabbeke), Europalia, Toneelhuis, Kunsthal Mechelen, CORE-Festival, Nuits Sonores, BOZAR, and so on... Victor Verhelst's autonomous artwork consists of very diverse mediums: from keeping it digital, to unique riso print pieces, from large wall tapestries to works with interactive game technology but always starting from his digital canvas where his ongoing series 'trippy vegas ' -later on transformed into 'TOXIC HAWAII'- are born: his conception of a growing digital city consisting of virtual cityscapes and buildings.The distortion and juxtaposition of 2D and 3D image planes in the creation of figurative color combinations characterises his aesthetics. Printed matter - from digital to 3D, from risography to textile - forms his starting point, always working with the relationship of the materiality to the pre-made (digital) image.

Victor Verhelst is represented by PLUS-ONE Gallery in Antwerp (Belgium)
