Description
Tom Liekens (°1977) maakt monumentale schilderijen en collages met een heel eigen beeldtaal. Een onderwerp dat steeds terugkomt in zijn werk is de natuur in haar kunstmatige vorm, zoals we die bijvoorbeeld kennen uit dierentuinen en natuurhistorische musea. Of de manier waarop landschappen en dieren werden voorgesteld doorheen de kunstgeschiedenis, in sprookjes of in films. Zijn werk is doorspekt van de kunst- en cultuurhistorische citaten. Hij bekleedt met zijn eigenzinnige werk een volstrekt unieke positie in de kunstwereld. Dit rijk geïllustreerde boek, in samenwerking met De Vrienden van De Zwarte Panter, biedt een overzicht van zijn recente werken. Het bevat kritische teksten van kunsthistorici Frank Herreman en Katharina Van Cauteren en Tiki-archeoloog Sven Kirsten.
Tom Liekens (°1977) does monumental paintings and collages in a highly individual visual idiom. One subject that constantly recurs is nature in its artificial form, the way we see it in zoos and natural history museums. Or the way landscapes and animals have been portrayed in the course of art history, in fairytales and in films. His work is larded with references to art history and cultural history. His very specific work puts him in an entirely unique position in the art world. This richly illustrated book, published in association with the Friends of De Zwarte Panter, provides an overview of his most recent works. It also includes critical essays by art historians Frank Herreman and Katharina Van Cauteren and Tiki archaeologist
