Athos Burez

Met 80 beelden en installaties brengt fotograaf-kunstenaar Athos Burez een eigenzinnige en hedendaagse kijk op verschillende genres uit de stijlperiode: stillevens, portretten, landschappen en interieurs.
Het werk van Burez herken je aan de haast surrealistische kijk op vertrouwde beelden, waardoor zijn foto's vaak tussen twee werelden lijken te zweven. In deze tentoonstelling brengt hij oude barokke aspecten op een vaak contrasterende manier samen met hedendaagse beeldelementen. Zo ontstaat een geheel nieuwe en unieke Barokke beeldcultuur, waar de overvloed en de verscheidenheid van de periode voelbaar is, maar alles ook mooi op elkaar aansluit als in een collage. Het is de eerste keer dat het werk van Athos Burez in een solotentoonstelling te bewonderen is in Antwerpen.

As part of 'Antwerp Baroque 2018: Rubens as an inspiration', the MAS will be welcoming the photographer and artist Athos Burez to the boulevard as from 1 June 2018. With 80 images and installations, he shares his own unique and contemporary view on different genres from the style period: still lifes, portraits, landscapes and interiors.
Burez' work is characterised by an almost surrealist view of familiar images, often giving the impression that his photographs float between two worlds. In this exhibition, he joins old Baroque aspects with elements of contemporary imagery by means of an often contrasting approach. As a result, a completely new and unique Baroque image culture arises where the abundance and diversity of the period is tangible yet everything seamlessly comes together as if in a collage. It is the first time that Athos' work will be exhibited in a solo exhibition in Antwerp.
