He has also participated in exhibitions at Museum Schunck, S.M.A.K., Sema Seoul, Kunstvereniging Diepenheim, Z33 House of Contemporary Art, De Warande, CIAP Kunstverein, and Surplus Space Wuhan. His work is exhibited internationally and is part of collections such as De Bruin-Heijn, SMAK Ghent, the Flemish Government, and numerous other collections. Lutgens lives and works in Antwerp, founded the Artist Run Space Red Herring Salon, is a member of Faar, and serves as a board member of the artists’ association NICC.
William Ludwig Lutgens’ work delves into the unconscious complexity of the human ego and the ubiquitous influence of images, media, and representations in our over-achieving society, with a primary focus on figurative work. He seeks to intertwine these elements with dreamlike desires and symbolic meanings, exploring the fantasies that shape our understanding of reality. His practice is multidisciplinary, spanning painting, drawing, sculpture, installation, and more recently, performance and film.
