At first glance, the installations of the Belgian artist Fred Eerdekens are nothing unusual, extraordinary, or new. You can stand for a long time and look at the twisted wire, cotton clouds, bushes and look for a hidden meaning. But you will understand only when light penetrates through them, revealing a hidden message and drawing unexpected textual pictures.
Getting acquainted with the work of the Belgian artist Fred Eerdekens, you find yourself in the realm of light and shadow, where the semantic landscapes painted by the author come to life. In the chaos of objects, meaning and logic appear only when a ray of light penetrates the installation, painting pictures with the shadow of these objects.
The installation by Fred Eerdekens is based on the concept of projecting a beam of light through sculptures that perfectly convey the underlying text in the form of shadows on the opposite wall. The art of painting with shadow requires perfect composition and exposure to proportion. There are no technical tricks and tricks here.
Sculptures and installations by Belgian artist Fred Eerdekens explore light and speech through the play and manipulation of various materials. The sculptor studies the connections between pictures and language form by converting his designs into words. Fred Eerdekens uses bent wire, cotton clouds, balls, artificial trees, plants, clothing, and household goods to show the connection between an object and language. The author projects light onto carefully placed objects in order to write phrases or words with the help of shadow.
Works by Fred Eerdekens are on display at the Tache Levy Gallery in Brussels and Spencer Brownstone in New York. Recently exhibitions of his work were held in Vienna and Antwerp.
