Philippe Van Snick (1946-2019) is a Belgian artist who lived and worked in Brussels, where he taught for years at the Sint Lukas art college. He was active in the 60s and 70s as a conceptual and minimalist artist and worked with various materials such as film, photography, and installations. Recurring themes are the ellipse, dualism, and the decimal system.

From 1979 and especially in the 80s and 90s, he will mainly devote himself to abstract minimalist painting.

Well-known motifs of Philippe Van Snick are the day-night motif, symbolized in the colors blue and black, and the ten-part color palette with the colors red, yellow and blue (as main colors), orange, green and violet (as secondary colors), gold and silver (as colors with physical value) and white and black (as non-colors).

This book was collaborated very concentrated by the terminally ill artist and graphic designer Inge Ketelers. Unfortunately, he never saw the printed publication.
