Artist Statement:
Stefan Beyst (°1945) is a
Belgium based retired lecturer
in the philosophy of art and
modern art history.
From 2006 onwards, in a
outburst of long-suppressed
creativity,
he has embarked on a new
adventure: photography.
In every series, he is out at
developing a new approach or a
new thematic, and at setting
new standards for
image-making.
In 'Sans tête(s)' he explores
the realm of double images
in a series of 16 'polymorphic
metamorphoses' of a body in
decay.
In a rather dark and ominous
series 'Auguries of Innocence'
he ventures into the domain of
the 'mass-scape'.
And he is now exploring a new
territory in his 'Seize
obscurs objets de désir':
conjuring up desirable and
desiring objects from
meaningless 'found patterns'
His approach testifies to a
radical rejection of the
concept of photography as a
document, as if it was meant
to illustrate Paul Klee's
saying: 'Art does not
reproduce the visible, it
makes visible'.
