LAMBERT joseph

[1950, Grand-Halleux, Belgique]

Joseph Lambert was born in a small village in the Belgian Ardennes. For years he worked in a sheltered workshop factory pro- ducing colorful furniture. When he joined La “S” Grand Atelier in Vielsalm in 2005, his focus shifted: he began a graphic body of work akin to an intimate narrative, the writing of his life, as he himself says. Lines of writing form layers in which letters gradually merge with color, resulting in a language known only to him.
