Description

Wasco's art has been featured in several innovative expositions. In July-August 2006, Wasco's original comic drawings, prints, sculptures and paintings were shown in Gallery Lambiek. In March 2010 he was back in the Amsterdam-based gallery with a selection of his cut-out art. One of Wasco's panel frameworks from 'Het Tuitel Complex' served as the design for the window fence in the back of Lambiek's new location at the Koningsstraat. Comics shop Het Beeldverhaal hosted his exposition 'De Zwarte Kat' in April 2012. His work could be seen in Graphic Design Museum in Breda in 2011 and in The Bries Space in Antwerp in March 2017. In early 2016 he spent an entire month working live on his drawings in the shop window of the Amsterdam bookstore Scheltema. His self-published 24 Hour Comic booklet 'Wolken' (2010) was awarded with the "Stripschappenning" for Literary Comic of the Year in 2010. On 29 January 2020 he was awarded the annual Stripschapprijs for his full body of work. Because of the lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Wasco could not receive his prize during one of the comic festivals. Instead he was honored on 8 June 2020 in a small event organized by Stripjournaal host Robin Vinck and Comic Artist Laureate of the Netherlands Margreet de Heer in a cinema in the cultural center LAB111. After on-screen congratulations and praise from his publishers Wiebe Mokken and Hansje Joustra, his colleagues Typex and the Lamelos team, Wasco gave an inspiring acceptance speech in which he expressed his philosophy on the comics medium. On the occasion of this award, Scratch subsequently released the 300-page book collection with Wasco's work, titled 'Alles Leeft' ("Everything lives", October 2020). It largely consists of the many 24 Hour Comics that Wasco has made throughout the years.
