GERT ROBIJNS at M - Museum Leuven
In the exhibition 'On-', Gert Robijns (Sint-Truiden, °1972) presents a number of older works beside new installations. Through the title 'On-', the artist refers to oppositions and contradictions. On- may prefix many Dutch words (on-logisch [illogical], on-interessant [uninteresting], etc.) and thereby change their meaning. In his work, Robijns often plays with such oppositions and with twin concepts like order – disorder, movement – rest, above – below or positive – negative.
In his playful installations and surreal interventions, Gert Robijns focuses the viewer's attention on aspects of observation and intuition. More concretely, in his recent installations, Robijns treats concepts such as weight, balance, movement and mobility. His work is inspired by situations from everyday life and through his presentation, he tries to ensure that the visitor questions his/her immediate environment.
