The social commitment of Willy Peeters first
of all reveals itself through the accessibility
of his works, which at the same time is one
of the keys to his success. The subjects of
his sculptures moreover demonstrate he has an
eye for human decisiveness, performance, unremitting
labour, solidary diligence, common dedication.
The mainly naked portrayal of his characters
illustrates the muscular strength of men and
elegant sinuosity of women. As visual artist
Peeters has something to offer in the field
of aesthetics that seems to fulfil the needs
and desires of our society, a society often
tormented by insecurity, which reacts anxiously
to unexpected changes and sometimes lapses into
a state of being adrift, let alone desperation.
