    Away with paint. In the 1960s that is the slogan

    of Guy Mees. This avant-garde artist exchanges

    canvas and charcoal for industrially produced lace

    and neon lights. Whether they are round, square or

    triangular, these works all bear the enigmatic title

    Verloren Ruimte (Lost Space). Just like Verheyen,

    Mees plays with concepts such as space and

    light. In 1959 they both spend the summer at the

    Tempeliershof, an empty farm in Weert, where they

    work and write together. For Verheyen, Mees is

    ‘the painter who showed me the solution’ and

    questioned the definition of painting.
