Guido Vermeulen's mail art envelopes are like worlds into themselves and at the same time they are part of the much larger whole.

(a comment by NANCY BELL SCOTT, USA, on the IUOMA network)

Guido's paintings are like finding images in the clouds
(a comment by Kathleen D. Johnson, USA, on IUOMA)

Guido does not paint monsters but spirits and ghosts, full of love, tenderness and compassion
(LIZA LEYLA during a conversation, Belgium)

His ability to express emotions through painting is a beautiful gift. Allowing oneself to feel sadness is the most direct route through grief. His paintings feel peaceful and kind.

(STEPHEN WALKER, USA)


My life is shifting... Your work is intangible, ethereal, cosmically rewarding. i eat it up & savor it like a great sandwich! It made my day!
(Lisa PEREZ, USA, on IUOMA)

Thank you for the TALISMAN painting on the envelope. It is real cool and creepy at the same time. I haven’t seen a piece of abstract capture such as pain and emotion so well since I visited the museum of art in Toledo. Bravo!
(Sarah Jo Pender, USA, from the Indiana Women’s Prison)

I suppose you could characterize Guido's painting style as expressionist. I know he is very interested in dreams as a source for art and poetry, and these particular chapter pages seem like shadowy dream corridors filled with shifting images and scenes. The Michaux quotes work as a counterpoint, Guido's art is taking over when the limits of language have been reached.
(De Villo Sloan, USA, on my tribute pages to Henri Michaux, see LAMUSAR blog)

Guido’s art expressions are always poems and they show us the reality of our real faces and souls (Mariana Serban, Romania)

His titles have both inspired and educated me (Alicia Starr, USA)

I AM AN ASEMIC WEAVER



Small painted envelope I mailed to Bifidus Jones, USA.
In a way an addition to the discussion on IUOMA on Eco- Asemics.
I like this comment by Superhero (by email):

guido!!!

this will be short because i have chicken on the stove,
but i have to say you are onto something there.

it is exactly that mentality.
you shouldn't have to feel bad for saying something
just because one of the "greats" said it!!!
ideas should not belong to people,
they should be FREE!

ideas are as much part of the universe as a flower or grass,
they float around and are part of the natural world;
they grow and decay, they bloom, they bear fruit;
they are their own kind of life form.
we should let them be wild, and not treat them
like they are something you need to package up
in little tv dinner trays for mass consumption.

that is the kind of world we are heading toward if we don't tackle "Intellectual Property."

vending-machine ideas.
put in your .25 and you are allowed to agree with one of the contemporary brilliants;
and put their idea into your work. much like you buy paint and brushes,
you will have to pay for re-use of thoughts.

see, guido, look at the craziness you inspire in me!!! ;-D
