Putting the art in your soul
Filip Van Rijsselberge gives a graphic interpretation of contemporary society, designed as a multimedia scroll.
In his work, classic copper engravings, woodcuts, digital image processing and painting merge into one continuous image flow. Placing the images below each other creates a rhythmic sequence that refers to scrolling through our digital reality.
From a fascination with the way images influence our collective consciousness, the viewer is invited to move actively through the work and experience the field of tension between the different layers.
His art symbolizes his personal individuality

REPORT
Your work is narrative in a very free way: You give suggestions, in an associative way. You give a direction to the viewer. The figurations make part of a work in an “illogical” way, but very “natural”. The images sprout the illustrative and the figurative: The image finds itself because you deal precisely with figuration. Humour, punk, freedom... You create archetypal images and use visual elements to create certain focuses (sometimes reminiscent of Walter Swennen's work). They are images that stay with you. Painting over images, connecting graphics and painting works very freshly. Integrating graphics and digital work is also top notch!
Very strong work, super!
