Ritsart Gobyn (V)

Ritsart Gobyn °1985. Lives and works in Ghent, Belgium

Ritsart Gobyn uses the trompe l’oeil as a pictorial strategy to attend the viewer, through the illusion of the result, to the artistic process of creation. In this way, the trompe l’oeil itself transforms from a simple matter of optical illusion and appearance to a searchlight in the artistic process itself. It questions the ‘status’ of the painting as an image but also as an object.
