Artist Statement for Stefan Beyst
|
|
|
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'.
