Frederic Geurts (VI)

Frederic Geurts and John Van Oers also have a visual language that converges, not only in the execution of line, but also in the embrace of coincidence and doubt, the minimal and the humorous. They like to put things into perspective and enjoy stripping the appearance of a work of art from its elevated aura. They question the premise of copyright, the protection of the ego or the idea of recognition. They play with their own style, their own signature and confuse themselves as well as the spectator. Their interactions have something of a serious game. Vulnerable as good friends. Respectful, sharp and in full confidence.
