MICHAËL AERTS

Overview
MICHAËL AERTS
°1979, Dendermonde (BE)
Lives and works in Ghent and Courtrai, Belgium

De werken van Michaël Aerts zijn doordrongen van een diepgaande fascinatie voor het onbekende en de complexiteit van kennis en waarneming. Zijn werk bevindt zich op het snijvlak van tweedimensionale en driedimensionale kunstvormen; de kunstenaar beweegt zich voort tussen vlakken en vormen met het oog op thema’s als tijd, ruimte en de menselijke drang en capaciteit om te begrijpen. Daarbij kleeft zijn interesse aan het verkennen van plaatsen en ruimtes die buiten het bereik van onze zintuigen liggen. Een blik op het licht dat onderweg is naar de Aarde vanuit het heelal geeft ons een glimp van vervlogen tijd met vertraging. Afstand en uren vallen in deze flits samen. 

Yasmin Van 'tVeld

 

 

Michaël Aerts' works are imbued with a profound fascination for the unknown and the complexity of knowledge and perception. His work is at the intersection of two-dimensional and three-dimensional art forms; the artist moves between surfaces and shapes in view of themes of time, space and the human urge and capacity to understand. In doing so, his interest attaches to exploring places and spaces beyond the reach of our senses. A glimpse of light on its way to Earth from outer space gives us a glimpse of bygone time with delay. Distance and hours coincide in this flash.
