The Work

Metal, memory, and the space between civilisations.

Fred Van de Walle works at the intersection of material transformation and cultural landscape — exploring what survives when one world meets another. His practice spans Metal Particle Painting, bronze casting, and mixed-media installation, developed across residencies in Shanghai, Hainan, the Cook Islands, and beyond.

The paintings shift with the viewer's position. They oxidise over time. They are never finished.
