Maarten Desramaults was a significant figure in the Leuven underground art scene, whose unique, psychedelic drawings continue to inspire and resonate even after his passing 10 years ago. Known for his distinctive artistic voice and calm demeanor, Maarten welcomed younger generations into the subculture, leaving a lasting impact both personally and through his art. His work, often described as unconventional and vibrant, will be showcased at GRONDSLAG to honor his legacy, ensuring that his creations remain a source of inspiration for those who didn’t have the chance to know him.
Tofu Never Screams Bookings fondly recalls the profound influence Maarten had on them as a young punk, reflecting on the peaceful energy he exuded and the bond they shared through his beloved dog. His art, now being revived under the banner of ‘Kunst is Not Dead,’ is a tribute to his lasting contribution to the underground scene and a reminder that while he may no longer be with us physically, his art continues to live on.
Merci, Maarten, for your kindness and creativity, and for leaving an indelible mark on the people and community around you.
