From his early works, Jean-Jacques Bauweraerts has practiced an abstraction that leads to minimalist constructed art. In 1986, he exhibited his first assembled paintings in Zurich and, the following year, became Sol Lewitt’s assistant for Wall Drawings in Paris. His works play with monochromatic blacks, reds, or blues juxtaposed with geometric shapes in contrasting colors. He is interested in layering of canvases, cutouts, and reliefs, always in line with pure constructivism. In 1988, he was involved in the founding of the magazine Mesures Art International with Marcel-Louis Baugniet, Jo Delahaut, Jean-Pierre Husquinet, Victor Noël, Jean-Pierre Maury, and Léon Wuidar. He also contributed to numerous editions. As the author of various architectural integrations, he is also a characteristic representative of abstract minimalism that developed in the last years of the 20th century. Since 1982, his works have been seen in Belgium, France, Switzerland, Italy, Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, and Russia.
