Dieter Ravyts
“The Short End of the Stick”


opening Friday April 18

April 18 - May 11, 2025

Dieter Ravyts
(Belgium, 1988) work can be seen as a chain reaction, an ongoing story where one idea flows out of the other. Up until now, the main focus of his  work has been manmade constructions (such as machines) and manmade abstractions (like written language). He also has a fascination with modernism and its utopias.

His Affiche-Painting series was a first exploration of these ideas. This series consists of large, painstakingly painted posters that announce works yet to come.

The artist began making these posters as a way to delay making the ‘main work’ out of fear of failure. Initially, they served as a means of postponement, but over time, they evolved into a body of work in their own right. However, the works they announce have yet to be made.

In the margins of the Affiche series, a new series emerged: Lettrism. In this series, the artist repurposes the letters from his posters to create figures and portraits and by doing so assigning new meaning to the letters. Lettrism also functions as a transitional phase between the posters and the figurative works the artist intends to create—works that, of course, have already been announced  but have yet to come into existence.

De levenshouding en het werk van beeldhouwer Simon Masschelein (Belgium, 1994) geven gestalte aan wat de oude dichter ‘manbare tederheid’ heeft genoemd: een ontroerend samengaan van volharding en zachtheid. De verborgen vormen van de materialen volgend, denkend vanuit het gewricht, de scharnier, de schakeling, de koppeling, komt hij tot onverwachte stapelingen van marmer, albast, steen, staal, hout en lijm: verrassende, nieuwe vormen, onttrokken aan droombeelden die zich traag ontvouwen in de werkelijkheid.

(Hans Theys, July 14 2024, 13u43)
