In the 1970s, he took part in the travelling exhibition *Le bois dans l’art contemporain* (*Wood in Contemporary Art*), organised by the Ministry of the French Community and shown, amongst other places, in Brussels and Liège. There, he exhibited alongside Pol Bury, Jo Delahaut, Pierre Caille, Serge Vandercam, Willy Anthoons, André Willequet, Cantré and Jacques Lacomblez.
