Victor Verhelst (BE, 1997)
-
Victor Verhelst (°1997) lives and works in Ghent, Belgium.
Victor Verhelst is a Belgian visual artist whose practice spans digital art, risograph prints, textiles, and interactive game technology. Digital techniques are a constant thread throughout his work. His distinctive graphic language combines layered 2D and 3D visual elements, resulting in bold color compositions, playful distortions, and visually striking imagery.
Exploring the intersections between virtual and physical realities, Verhelst constructs immersive worlds filled with neon hues, digital glitches, and surreal architecture. His ongoing project Trippy Vegas envisions a dystopian, hyper-stylized cityscape that reflects on the overwhelming and seductive nature of virtual spaces.
His work has been exhibited at PLUS-ONE Gallery, where he presented his solo exhibiiton ‘TOXIC HAWAII’, a continuation of his Trippy Vegas universe in a mix of framed digital works, risograph prints, tapestries, and site-specific wallpaper. He has also been featured in group exhibitions such as Aesthetic Echoes and ‘…And that’s only (half) the story’. Beyond traditional gallery spaces, Verhelst has collaborated with Café Costume, designed stage visuals for the CORE Festival, and developed immersive textile installations like Starlight Shine at WONDER Festival. His hybrid practice continuously challenges the boundaries between design, technology, and contemporary image-making.
