Lives and works in the Netherlands.
“__Wilmerings oeuvre comprises installations, collages, photography, drawings and paintings. He also produces numerous artists books. In his work, he continually investigates, not without humor, his position as both person and artist.
The mirror-effect between the artist and his public is an important element in Wilmering’s work. In his collages, he takes his images out of context in the same way as he repeatedly takes himself, as an artist, out of the context of general artistic practice.
The series entitled Cut Out (2008-2009) is in line with the rest of his collages. This set, however, involves removing images and text rather than combining them. Wilmering has used the front pages of international newspapers as the starting point for Cut Out. The cutting out of all information and illustration results in, as it were, abstract window frames. These abstract compositions now make one think rather of building plans where, just as in the daily news, it is easy to lose your way.__ (quotation Marieke Wiegel, Une Histoire Naturelle, Institut Néerlandais, 2011)
